Basic Example Configuration
This is a basic secure configuration that you might find at an organization with a small network with few routers and few administrators. In addition to standard security settings, this configuration will:
Disable all unneeded services. This configuration doesn’t use HTTP, SNMP, TFTP, CDP, etc.

10.10.4.6.Enable an external interface—Serial 0/0—that has antispoofing ACL applied to it. This interface uses BGP, with authentication, as its routing protocol.

Configure console access to use a line password for authentication. ...
