peer password
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 restore the default.
Syntax
peer { group-name | ipv6-address } password { cipher | simple } password
undo peer { group-name | ipv6-address } password
Default
No MD5 authentication is performed for TCP connection establishment.
Views
IPv6 address family view
Default command level
2: System view
Parameters
group-name: Name of a peer group, a string of 1 to 47 characters.
ipv6-address: IPv6 address of a peer.
cipher: Specifies a ciphertext password.
simple: Specifies a plaintext password.
password: Specifies a password, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 137 characters in cipher text, or 1 to 80
characters in plain text.
Usage guidelines
The MD5 authentication requires that the two parties have the same authentication mode and password
to establish a TCP connection. Otherwise, the TCP connection cannot be established due to
authentication failure.
For security purposes, all passwords, including passwords configured in plain text, are saved in cipher
text.
Examples
# Enable MD5 authentication for establishing TCP connection between the local device (1:2::3:3) and
peer device (1:2::3:4), and configure the authentication password as aabbcc.
• On the local device:
