Benchmark reference

Reads the export, not the device

ConfigProof reads a configuration export. This control is evaluated against the objects in that file, and it reports what the file says. It does not connect to the device and sees no traffic, so a finding here describes the configuration, not what the firewall is doing right now.

Why it matters

Without a recent good backup a failed Primary Administration node, or a bad change, cannot be rolled back to a recent state.

How to fix it

Web interface

The steps below are written for the web interface. A finding raised on your own export carries the same steps with your object names filled in.

  1. In ISE: Administration > System > Backup and Restore > check whether a configuration backup schedule exists. If none does, create a daily one to an SFTP repository; if one does, find why it has not run, then run a backup and confirm it completes.

Command line

This analyzer version writes no command text for this control. The steps above are the remediation it offers.

How to confirm the fix

  • In ISE: Administration > System > Backup and Restore: the last backup status and date.

Limits

  • No limitation is recorded for this control beyond the one that applies to all of them: it reads a configuration export.

Compliance references

No benchmark recommendation is mapped to this control in this version.
