ip-address: IP address of a peer.
cipher: Displays the configured password in cipher text format.
simple: Displays the configured password in plain text format.
password: Password, a string of 1 to 80 characters when the simple keyword is used, or when the cipher
keyword and plain text password are used; a string of 24 or 108 characters when the cipher text
password and the cipher keyword are used.
Description
Use peer password to configure BGP to perform MD5 authentication when a TCP connection is being
established with a peer/peer group.
Use undo peer password to disable the function.
By default, no MD5 authentication is performed for TCP connection establishment.
Once MD5 authentication is enabled, both parties must be configured with the same authentication
mode and password. Otherwise, the TCP connection will not be set up.
Examples
# In BGP view, perform MD5 authentication on the TCP connection set up between the local router
10 .1.10 0 .1 a n d t h e p e e r r o u t e r 10 .1.10 0 . 2 .
