Description
Use the peer password command to enable BGP to perform the MD5 authentication
when making a TCP connection.
Use the undo peer password command to cancel this function.
By default, BGP does not perform the MD5 authentication when setting up a TCP
connection.
When the MD5 authentication is enabled, both parties must have the same
authentication mode and password, otherwise, no TCP connection can be established
because the MD5 authentication cannot be passed.
A specified peer can perform the MD5 authentication only when the group to which the
peer belongs is not set the authentication. Otherwise, the configuration of the peer
group applies.
Example
# Assign MD5 authentication to a TCP connection between the local router 10.1.100.1
and the peer 10.1.100.2.
[Quidway-bgp-af-vpn-instance] peer 10.1.100.2 password simple huawei
# Perform a similar configuration to the remote end.
