Allied Telesis VERSION 5.4.3-2.6, BGP4 manual How to make neighbors members of a Peer Group

BGP and BGP4+ Introduction

How to configure authentication for BGP Peering Sessions

You can configure authentication between two BGP peers, meaning that each segment sent on the TCP connection between the peers is verified. Authentication must be configured with the same password on both BGP peers; otherwise, the connection between them will not be made. Configuring authentication causes the software to generate and check the MD5 digest of every segment sent on the TCP connection. If authentication is invoked and a segment fails authentication, then an error message will be displayed in the console.

awplus(config-router)#

neighbor {<ip-address>This command starts MD5 authentication on a TCP connection <peer-group-name>} password to a BGP peer. You can enter a case-sensitive password of up to

<password> 25 characters.

When configuring authentication, you can enter a case-sensitive password of up to 25 characters.The string can contain any alphanumeric characters, including spaces. A password cannot be configured in the number-space-anything format. The space after the number can cause authentication to fail.

How to make neighbors members of a Peer Group

To configure a BGP neighbor to be a member of a BGP peer group, use the following command in Router Configuration mode, using the same peer group name:

awplus(config-router)#

neighbor <ipv6-addr>peer-groupThis command makes a BGP neighbor a member of the peer <peer-group>group.

How to disable a Peer or Peer Group

To disable an existing BGP neighbor or neighbor peer group, use the following command in Router Configuration mode:

awplus(config-router)#

neighbor <neighborid> shutdown This command shuts down or disables a BGP neighbor or peer group.

To enable a previously existing neighbor or neighbor peer group that had been disabled using the neighbor shutdown (BGP and BGP4+) command in Router Configuration mode, use the following command in Router Configuration mode:

awplus(config-router)#

no neighbor <neighborid> This command enables a BGP neighbor or peer group. shutdown
