Security Settings
This window lets you disable features that are on by default in the Cisco IOS software, but that can create security risks, or make the router send messages at such a high volume that it would use up its available memory. You should leave the boxes checked unless you know that your requirements are different.
If you allow SDM Express to make these settings and you later want to change any of the individual setting described under these setting groups, you can do so by using SDM. For more information, click Cisco Router and Security Device Manager.
Select All (Recommended by Cisco) Checkbox
Clicking Select All lets you implement all security settings in this window. If you later decide you want to change the security settings, you can do so using Cisco SDM.
