configure bgp neighbor password
configure bgp neighbor [all | <ip address>] password [none | {encrypted}
<password>]
Description
Configures a password for a neighbor.
Syntax Description
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
When a password is configured, TCP MD5 authentication is enabled on the TCP connection that is
established with the neighbor.
Changes made to the parameters of a peer group are applied to all neighbors in the peer group.
To change any one of the following parameters you must disable and re-enable the peer session:
• timer
• source-interface
• soft-in-reset
• password
Changing a route reflector client will automatically disable and enable the peer session.
NOTE
Do not select the encrypted option in the CLI.
The encrypted option is used by the switch when generating an ASCII configuration file (using the
upload configuration command), and parsing a switch-generated configuration file (using the
download configuration command). Do not select the encrypted option in the CLI.
Example
The following command configures the password for a neighbor as Extreme:
all Specifies all neighbors.
ip address Specifies an IP address.
none Specifies not to use a password
encrypted This option is for use only by the switch when generating an ASCII
configuration file. Specifies that the password should be encrypted when the
configuration is uploaded to a file. Do not use this option.
password Specifies a password string.
