Allied Telesis VERSION 5.4.3-2.6 manual Neighbor password BGP and BGP4+, Password

BGP and BGP4+ Commands

neighbor password (BGP and BGP4+)

Use this command to enable MD5 authentication on a TCP connection between BGP and BGP4+ neighbors. No authentication is applied by default. To setup authentication for the session, you must first apply authentication on each connected peer for the session.

Use the no variant of this command to disable this function.

Syntax [BGP] neighbor {<ip-address><peer-group-name>} password <password>

no neighbor {<ip-address><peer-group-name>} password [<password>]

Syntax [BGP4+] neighbor {<ipv6-addr><peer-group-name>} password <password>

no neighbor {<ipv6-addr><peer-group-name>} password [<password>]

Parameter	Description
<ip-address>	Specifies the IP address of the BGP neighbor, in A.B.C.D
	format.
<ipv6-addr>	Specifies the IPv6 address of the BGP4+ neighbor, entered in
	hexadecimal in the format X:X::X:X.

<peer-group-name>Name of an existing peer-group. When this parameter is

	used with this command, the command applies on all peers
	in the specified group.
<password>	An alphanumeric string of characters to be used as
	password.

Default No authentication is applied by default.

Mode [BGP4+] Router Configuration

Usage [BGP/BGP4+] When using the <peer-group-name> parameter with this command (to apply this command to all peers in the group), see the related commands neighbor peer-group (add a neighbor) (BGP and BGP+) and neighbor route-map (BGP and BGP4+) for information about how to create peer groups first.

Examples [BGP] This example specifies the encryption type and the password (manager) for the neighbor 10.10.10.1:

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# router bgp 10

awplus(config-router)#neighbor 10.10.10.1 password manager
