Configure password

You can enable message digest 5 (MD5) authentication with a password on the TCP connection between two BGP neighbors.

Configure the same password on both BGP peers. When you configure MD5 authentication between two BGP peers, each segment of the TCP connection is verified and the MD5 digest is checked on every segment sent on the TCP connection. Configuring a password for a neighbor establishes a new connection.

NOTE You can secure the VTEP neighbor communications as well using the MD5 authentication.

Configure password

  • Configure the password in both the BGP peers in ROUTER-NEIGHBOR CONFIGURATION or ROUTER-TEMPLATE CONFIGURATION mode. The password provided in ROUTER-NEIGHBOR mode takes preference over the password in ROUTER-TEMPLATE mode. Enter the password either as plain text or in encrypted format.
    • password {9 encrypted password–string|password-string}
