HP 6125G - Peer Preferred-Value (Ipv6 Address Family View)

320
Parameters
group-name: Name of a peer group, a string of 1 to 47 characters.
ipv6-address: IPv6 address of a peer.
cipher: Sets a ciphertext password.
simple: Sets a plaintext password.
password: Sets the password. This argument is case sensitive. It must be a ciphertext string of 1 to 137
characters, or a plaintext string of 1 to 80 characters.
Description
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.
By default, no MD5 authentication is performed for TCP connection establishment.
The MD5 authentication requires that the two parties have the same authentication mode and password
to establish TCP connection; otherwise, the TCP connection cannot be established due to authentication
failure.
The authentication password, set in either plain text or cipher text, is saved to the configuration file 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:
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] bgp 3
[Sysname-bgp] ipv6-family
[Sysname-bgp-af-ipv6] peer 1:2::3:4 password cipher aabbcc
• On the peer device:
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] bgp 4
[Sysname-bgp] ipv6-family
[Sysname-bgp-af-ipv6] peer 1:2::3:3 password cipher aabbcc
