Hey Kevin - it's all about the wording, the question states you need to "SECURE" OSPF, so to me this means MD5, since simple or plain text authentication is NOT secure. You got the points...
Thank you, Steve Di Bias Network Engineer - Information Systems Valley Health System - Las Vegas Office - 702- 369-7594 Cell - 702-241-1801 [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Huang, Kevin Sent: Friday, January 28, 2011 5:07 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [OSL | CCIE_RS] OSPF authentication Vol1 Lab18.4 Do we not get the points if the question does NOT specifically ask for MD5, but it's used anyway? Volume 1 Lab 18.4 doesn't say whether it's plain text, or md5. So I used md5 (best practice), but the solution guide uses plain text. What's the guideline on this? With eigrp only md5 is available so there's no issue there...
