Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring MSDP authentication, complete the following tasks:
l Configuring a unicast routing protocol to implement IP interworking between domains
l Enabling IP multicast
l Configuring PIM-SM domains to implement intra-domain multicast
l Configuring PIM-SM Inter-domain Multicast or Configuring an Anycast RP in a
PIM-SM Domain
Data Preparation
Before configuring MSDP authentication, prepare the following data:
No. Data
1 IP address of the peer to be configured with MSDP authentication
2 Password for MSDP MD5 authentication
3 Key-Chain name for MSDP Key-Chain authentication
7.10.2 Configuring MSDP MD5 Authentication
The MSDP peers must be configured with the same authentication password; otherwise, the TCP
connection cannot be set up between MSDP peers and MSDP messages cannot be transmitted.
The authentication password on peers can be in different forms, that is, the password on one end
can be in the cipher text while the password on the peer can be in the plain text.
Context
By default, MSDP MD5 authentication is not configured.
Do as follows on the switch configured with MSDP peers:
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2 Run:
msdp [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ]
The MSDP view is displayed.
Step 3 Run:
peer peer-address password { cipher cipher-password | simple simple-password }
MSDP MD5 authentication is configured.
The MSDP MD5 authentication password is case sensitive and cannot contain any space.
