Administrator Command Accounting Pix 515

[nojpt]

Hi,

Is there a way to log firewall admin commands being issued at the firewall? Like for example, sending it to a TACACS+ server?

Thanks for the help.

Hello noipt,

Command accounting can be configured ONLY in PIX v7.x. Also, it looks like that only non-show commands will be sent.

Per the command reference

To send accounting messages to the TACACS+ accounting server when you enter any command other than show commands at the CLI, use the aaa accounting command command in global configuration mode.

For version 6.x,

Authentication and Command Authorization for PIX 6.2

There is no actual command accounting available, but by having syslog activated on the PIX, you can see what actions were performed, as shown in this example:

307002: Permitted Telnet login session from 172.18.124.111

111006: Console Login from pixtest at console

611103: User logged out: Uname: pixtest

307002: Permitted Telnet login session from 172.18.124.111

111006: Console Login from pixtest at console

502103: User priv level changed: Uname: pixtest From: 1 To: 15

111008: User 'pixtest' executed the 'enable' command.

111007: Begin configuration: 172.18.124.111 reading from terminal

111008: User 'pixtest' executed the 'configure t' command.

111008: User 'pixtest' executed the 'write t' command.

Hope this helps! If so, please rate.

Thanks
