Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration. Off-loading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity.

Review the router configuration to verify that it is compliant with this requirement as shown in the example below.

system {
   syslog {
        host x.x.x.x {
            any info;
        }
    }

If the router is not configured to off-load log records onto a different system than the system being audited, this is a finding.
