Which of the following pairs of statements is true in terms of configuring MD authentication?
A. Interface statements (OSPF, EIGRP) must be configured; use of key chain in OSPF

    1. I don’t know what it is meant by “router process”, but I know EIGRP uses key chain for its method of implementing MD5. So it has to be B or C.

      1. Router process is from inside lets say router ospf 100 then you can configure the authentication there

        OSPF Authentication

        !
        interface GigabitEthernet0/1
        ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0
        ip ospf authentication message-digest
        ip ospf message-digest-key 1 md5 CCNA
        !
        router ospf 65000
        router-id 192.168.10.1
        area 0 authentication message-digest
        network 10.1.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 10
        network 192.168.10.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
        !

        ==================================================================

        EIGRP Authentication

        !
        key chain CCNA
        key 1
        key-string CCNA-SECURITY
        !
        !
        interface Loopback0
        ip address 192.168.100.1 255.255.255.0
        !
        interface GigabitEthernet0/1
        ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0
        ip authentication mode eigrp 65000 md5
        ip authentication key-chain eigrp 65000 CCNA
        !
        router eigrp 65000
        network 192.168.10.0
        network 192.168.100.0

        But the answer should be like this

        Router process or interface statement for OSPF must be configured; key chain in EIGRP
