Congure password
You can enable message digest 5 (MD5) authentication with a password on the TCP connection between two BGP neighbors.
Congure the same password on both BGP peers. When you congure MD5 authentication between two BGP peers, each segment of the
TCP connection between them is veried and the MD5 digest is checked on every segment sent on the TCP connection. Conguring a
password for a neighbor establishes a new connection.
Congure password
• Congure the password in both the BGP peers using the password {9 encrypted password–string|password-string}
in ROUTER-NEIGHBOR CONFIGURATION or ROUTER-TEMPLATE CONFIGURATION mode. . The password provided in ROUTER-
NEIGHBOR mode gets more preference than the password in ROUTER-TEMPLATE mode. You can enter the password either as plain
text or in encrypted format.
• View the password conguration using the show configuration command.
