Re: OSPF Authentication

The best way to tackle the wording game is to know most of your options.
If
you don't know most of your options, then, how would you know what to do?
The last thing you want to do is to memorize or say to your self when i
hear
this word, i will configure that.

I see a lot of students that are into this word game, and deep down i know
that most if not all will be donating $1400 + expenses to Cisco.

I am glad that you are trying to learn all possible options.
