Brocade Communications Systems FastIron SX 1600, Configuration Manual, Page: 370 / 593

The system creates an MD5 hash of the password and uses it for securing sessions between the device and its neighbors. To display the
configuration, the system uses a 2-way encoding scheme to be able to retrieve the original password that was entered.
By default, the password is encrypted. If you want the password to appear in clear text, insert a 0 between the password and the string.
device(config-bgp)# neighbor 10.157.22.26 password 0 marmalade
The system adds an encryption code followed by the encrypted text of the original password. For example, the following portion of the
code has the encrypted code “2”.
password 2 $IUA2PWc9LW9VIW9zVQ=="
One of the following may be displayed:
• 0 = the password is not encrypted and is in clear text
• 2 = the password uses proprietary base64 cryptographic 2-way algorithm
peer-group group-name assigns the neighbor to the specified peer group.
prefix-list string in | out specifies an IP prefix list. You can use IP prefix lists to control routes to and from the neighbor. IP prefix lists are
an alternative method to AS-path filters. The in and out keywords specify whether the list is applied on updates received from the
neighbor or sent to the neighbor. The filters can use the same prefix list or different prefix lists.
You must specify a prefix-list that matches an existing prefix-list entry. An implicit deny is applied to traffic that does not match any
prefix-list entry. Use the
show ip prefix-list command to view information about configured prefix-lists.
remote-as as-number specifies the AS in which the remote neighbor resides. The as-number has no default value. The range is 1 -
4294967295.
remove-private-as configures the device to remove private AS numbers from update messages the device sends to this neighbor. The
device will remove AS numbers 64512 through 65535 (the well-known BGP4 private AS numbers) from the AS-path attribute in
update messages the device sends to the neighbor. This option is disabled by default.
route-map in | out map-name specifies a route map the device will apply to updates sent to or received from the specified neighbor. The
in and out keywords specify whether the list is applied on updates received from the neighbor or sent to the neighbor.
NOTE
The route map must already be
configured.
route-reflector-client specifies that this neighbor is a route-reflector client of the device. Use the parameter only if this device is going to
be a route reflector. This option is disabled by default.
send-community enables sending the community attribute in updates to the specified neighbor. By default, the device does not send
the community attribute.
shutdown administratively shuts down the session with this neighbor. Shutting down the session lets you configure the neighbor and
save the configuration without actually establishing a session with the neighbor.
When a peer is put into the shutdown state, ribout routes are not produced for that peer. You can elect to produce ribout routes using the
generate-rib-out option. This option is disabled by default.
soft-reconfiguration inbound enables the soft reconfiguration feature, which stores all the route updates received from the neighbor. If
you request a soft reset of inbound routes, the software performs the reset by comparing the policies against the stored route updates,
instead of requesting the neighbor BGP4 route table or resetting the session with the neighbor.
timers keep-alive num hold-time num overrides the global settings for the Keep Alive Time and Hold Time. For the Keep Alive Time,
you can specify 0 - 65535 seconds. For the Hold Time, you can specify 0 or a number in the range 3 through 65535 (1 and 2 are not
