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

Thanks Anthony ,Joe

perhaps I went too far with my thinking for this question ( Technology labs
made me think of a lot of options ) it was more simple than that but the
point about asking the proctor is very good ..hope they will be answering :)
 and your are correct Joe..read data and intercept it are different and I
don't think the proctor will spend any minutes thinking about the difference
bet the 2 words
even though I'm officially lost the points for this question but still I'm
comfortable...some how in real life I would have put the pwd...still ..I
know very well I study for the exam not for real life
Anyway...Thanks a lot for your reply so much appreciated really
