Description This command configures the BGP authentication key.
Authentication is performed between neighboring routers before setting up the BGP session
by verifying the password. Authentication is performed using the MD-5 message-based digest.
The authentication key can be any combination of letters or numbers from 1 to 16.
The no form of the command removes the authentication password from the configuration and
effectively disables authentication.
Default Authentication is disabled and the authentication password is empty.
Parameters authentication-key — The authentication key. The key can be any combination of ASCII
characters up to 255 characters in length (unencrypted). If spaces are used in the string,
enclose the entire string in quotation marks (“ ”).
hash-key — The hash key. The key can be any combination of ASCII characters up to 3452
characters in length (encrypted). If spaces are used in the string, enclose the entire string in
quotation marks (“ ”).
This is useful when a user must configure the parameter, but, for security purposes, the actual
unencrypted key value is not provided.
hash2 — Specifies the key is entered in a more complex encrypted form. If the hash2
parameter is not used, the unencrypted form is assumed.
