Re: OSPF Question...other devices in LAN cant intercept

Hi Mohamed!

Your solution is not strange at all. You are thinking OSPF security
and that is an excellent thing.

In the actual exam, you need to read very, very carefully to determine
the tool or strategy the proctors are looking/grading for. When in
doubt, go to them and explain your reasoning for choosing one tool
over another and see if they can provide some guidance. If we had
wanted OSPF authentication in the task, you would have noticed that we
would have hinted at what kind...null, clear text, MD5. Notice that we
tend to hint, not come right out and dictate it.

What is most important as you go through our training is that you
continue to practice task interpretation and master all of the options
that exist for solving a particular task. The actual lab will be sure
to challenge your problem solving skills...and sometimes requires
quite a bit of creativity.

Congratulations on your journey - enjoy every minute!

Warmest Regards,
