"configure area 45 on vlan 45 between r4 and r5.
ensure that host devices running ospf on this segment
cannot intercept the ospf communication between r4 and
r5"
the solution was do change the ospf network type to
non-broadcast and set up neighbor statements in ospf.
my first thought here was just to do authentication,
do you think that would of satisfied the requirement?
one question is, if i was a pc on that subnet couldn't
i still intercept the packets via sniffer? since the
two routers would be in the same broadcast domain? i
understand the packets would be sent unicast between
the two routers but would you be able to see the
conversation if you had a sniffer on the vlan?
