Minimum security baseline check

adamr1

Level 1

I have a list of Cisco configurations (see picture of excel sheet) to check whether they're enabled or disabled or set to my companies security standard.

 

I have been trying to compile a show command "script" to run on any device in the company at any point and see whether it meets the minimum security baseline or not. I put a sample of the way I've been doing it but I am not convinced it is the most ideal way as it relies on the search to show up properly. 

 

Is this the best way to verify this? Essentially it is for audit purposes to quickly see if it meets the criteria specified in the list.

Example: 

show run | i aaa auth
!
show run | i service password
!
show run | i secret
!
show run | i username
!
show run | i timeout
!
show run | i ip directed
!
show run | i source-route
!
show run | i snmp-server community
!
show run | i ip http se
!
show run | i ip bootp
!
show run | i ip identd
!
