Router/switch security best practices document?

jkeeffe · ‎09-03-2009

Would someone please point me to a best practices document that describes the Cisco recommendations to harden routers and switches? I've lost the link to the one I used to have, which talked about turning off small services, limiting via ACL snmp reads, etc.

This will help - thanks. I remember also there is a new command in IOS that configures many of the default security features Cisco recommends, similar to AutoQos setting up a default VOIP QOS.
