Preface: the task was to come up with a new router script to be used on all of our sites worlwide - a basic script covering:

- AAA (Tacacs+)

- Logging

- Security (Base line)

- Optimize memory (router - of course the valuse are different on some routers due to the hardware. But we are using 3845 routers almost everywhere).

Omitted from this script are: all keys, routing (the script does also cover BGP, EIGRP and OSPF), ACL`s, DMVPN configuration, extended ACL`s and Route-Maps.

Here it is, I welcome all comments and suggestions on the below script:
