This command automatically restarts the neighbor session for the configuration to take effect.

Configure the same password on both BGP peers or a connection does not occur. When you configure MD5 authentication between two BGP peers, each segment of the TCP connection between them is verified and the MD5 digest is checked on every segment sent on the TCP connection.

Configuring a password for a neighbor causes an existing session to be torn down and a new one established.

If you specify a BGP peer group by using the peer-group-nameparameter, all the members of the peer group inherit the characteristic configured with this command.
