Hi all, Here is the another question i came across in the lab When plain text passwd (type 1) is used as ospf authentication, it checks the actual passwd. when md5 (type 2) is used, a wrong passwd was set on purpose, surprisingly the adjacency was still able to be established.
Read Doyle book, it mentioned the actual message digest is appended in the end of the packet, instead of the authentication field as type 1 does, and it is not considered as part of the packet itself. Is it why the routers do not check the md field? thanks in advanced Paul Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=63580&t=63580 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
