my question more revolves around grading what you would consider correct.
if the question says 'configure authentication for area x', would you
consider configuring authentication under all the interfaces in that area as
meeting the requirements for the question? ie not using the 'area x auth'
command under the routing process.
is there a show command that will show required authentication for an area
vs using the 'sho ip os int' and seeing the authentication configured for
each interface?
i ask because normally i wouldnt even think about it in the lab, i'd
consider it the same thing... it would never accure to me to ask the proctor
if he/she had a preferance...
