R2511-HP MSR Router Series IP Multicast Command Reference(V5)

Usage guidelines
The MSDP peers involved in MD5 authentication must be configured with the same authentication
method and password. Otherwise, the authentication fails and the TCP connection cannot be
established.
For security purposes, all MD5 authentication passwords, including MD5 authentication passwords
configured in plain text, are saved in cipher text.
Examples
# On the public network, configure a plaintext password for MD5 authentication to aabbcc for the TCP
connections between the local end and the MSDP peer 10.1.100.1. The configuration on the peer is
similar.

# In VPN instance mvpn, configure a plaintext password for MD5 authentication to aabbcc for the TCP
connections between the local end and the MSDP peer 10.1.100.1. The configuration on the peer is
similar.
