The system creates an MD5 hash of the password and uses it for securing sessions between the device and its neighbors. To display the
conguration, the system uses a 2-way encoding scheme to be able to retrieve the original password that was entered.
By default, the password is encrypted. If you want the password to appear in clear text, insert a 0 between the password and the string.
device(config-bgp)# neighbor 10.157.22.26 password 0 marmalade
The system adds an encryption code followed by the encrypted text of the original password. For example, the following portion of the
code has the encrypted code “2”.
password 2 $IUA2PWc9LW9VIW9zVQ=="
One of the following may be displayed:
• 0 = the password is not encrypted and is in clear text
• 2 = the password uses proprietary base64 cryptographic 2-way algorithm
peer-group group-name assigns the neighbor to the
specied peer group.
prex-list string in |out species an IP prex list. You can use IP prex lists to control routes to and from the neighbor. IP prex lists are
an alternative method to AS-path lters. The in and out keywords specify whether the list is applied on updates received from the
neighbor or sent to the neighbor. The lters can use the same prex list or dierent prex lists.
You must specify a prex-list that matches an existing prex-list entry. An implicit deny is applied to trac that does not match any
prex-list entry. Use the show ip prex-list command to view information about congured prex-lists.
remote-as as-number species the AS in which the remote neighbor resides. The as-number has no default value. The range is 1 -
4294967295.
remove-private-as congures the device to remove private AS numbers from update messages the device sends to this neighbor. The
device will remove AS numbers 64512 through 65535 (the well-known BGP4 private AS numbers) from the AS-path attribute in
update messages the device sends to the neighbor. This option is disabled by default.
route-map in | out map-name species a route map the device will apply to updates sent to or received from the specied neighbor. The
in and out keywords specify whether the list is applied on updates received from the neighbor or sent to the neighbor.
NOTE
The route map must already be
congured.
route-reector-client species that this neighbor is a route-reector client of the device. Use the parameter only if this device is going to
be a route reector. This option is disabled by default.
send-community enables sending the community attribute in updates to the specied neighbor. By default, the device does not send
the community attribute.
shutdown administratively shuts down the session with this neighbor. Shutting down the session lets you congure the neighbor and
save the conguration without actually establishing a session with the neighbor.
When a peer is put into the shutdown state, ribout routes are not produced for that peer. You can elect to produce ribout routes using the
generate-rib-out option. This option is disabled by default.
soft-reconguration inbound enables the soft reconguration feature, which stores all the route updates received from the neighbor. If
you request a soft reset of inbound routes, the software performs the reset by comparing the policies against the stored route updates,
instead of requesting the neighbor BGP4 route table or resetting the session with the neighbor.
timers keep-alive num hold-time num overrides the global settings for the Keep Alive Time and Hold Time. For the Keep Alive Time,
you can specify 0 - 65535 seconds. For the Hold Time, you can specify 0 or a number in the range 3 through 65535 (1 and 2 are not
