Enabling MD5 authentication for BGP peers
You can enable MD5 authentication to enhance security in the following ways:
• Perform MD5 authentication when establishing TCP connections. Only the two parties that have the
same password configured can establish TCP connections.
• Perform MD5 calculation on TCP packets to avoid modification to the encapsulated BGP packets.

Configuring BGP load balancing
If multiple BGP routes that have the same AS_PATH, ORIGIN, LOCAL_PREF, and MED attributes to a
destination exist, you can use the balance command to configure the maximum number of BGP routes for
load balancing to improve link utilization.
