peer password
Use peer password to configure an MD5 authentication key used by both MSDP peers to establish a TCP
connection.
Use undo peer password to restore the default.
Syntax
peer peer-address password { cipher | simple } password
undo peer peer-address password
Default
MSDP peers do not perform MD5 authentication to establish TCP connections.

Parameters
peer-address: Specifies an MSDP peer.
cipher: Sets a ciphertext MD5 authentication key.
simple: Sets a plaintext MD5 authentication key.
password: Specifies the key string. This argument is case sensitive. If simple is specified, it must be a
string of 1 to 80 characters. If cipher is specified, it must be a ciphertext string of 33 to 137 characters.
Usage guidelines
The MSDP peers involved in MD5 authentication must be configured with the same authentication
method and key. Otherwise, the authentication fails and the TCP connection cannot be established.
For security purposes, all keys, including keys configured in plain text, are saved in cipher text.
Examples
# On the public network, configure an MD5 authentication key in plaintext as aabbcc for the TCP
connections between the local end and the MSDP peer 10.1.100.1. The configuration on the remote peer
is similar.

peer request-sa-enable
Use peer request-sa-enable to enable the device to send an SA request message to an MSDP peer after
receiving a new join message.
Use undo peer request-sa-enable to disable the device from sending an SA request message to the
specified MSDP peer.
Syntax
peer peer-address request-sa-enable
