Re: OSPF over broadcast - drop mulitcast.

This is semantics: The OSPF process still has to read the multicast packets
to check the authentication signature, so, it IS processing multicast
packets. If you read the original post, it seems that denying the adjacency
via authentication is not what he was asking:

<Quote>Need your help in the following problem:
Having two routers on the same ethernet segment, asked to drop
multicast traffic betwen the two routers. Meanwhile make sure that adjacency
will still be established between the two routers.</Quote>

If you are using authentication to 'drop the mcast packets', it does not
complete the second half of the question:
'make sure that adjacency will still be established between the two
routers.'
