HP VPN Firewall Appliances High Availability Command Reference

144
password: Sets the password for simple authentication. This argument is case sensitive. It must be a
plaintext string of 1 to 16 characters or a ciphertext string of 33 to 53 characters.
Usage guidelines
For security purposes, all passwords, including passwords configured in plain text, are saved in cipher
text.
The authentication mode, key-id, key (or password) used by both ends trying to establish a BFD session
must be the same. If one end changes its authentication mode, it sends the authentication packets in both
the new and the old mode at the same time until the other end also changes to the same authentication
mode.
Examples
# Configure GigabitEthernet 1/1 to support MD5 authentication, setting the authentication key-id to 15
and plaintext authentication key to BfdKey.
