configure bgp neighbor [all | <ip address>] password [none | {encrypted}
<password>]
Description
Configures a password for a neighbor.
Syntax Description
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
When a password is configured, TCP MD5 authentication is enabled on the TCP connection that is
established with the neighbor.
Changes made to the parameters of a peer group are applied to all neighbors in the peer group.
To change any one of the following parameters you must disable and re-enable the peer session:
• timer
• source-interface
• soft-in-reset
• password
Changing a route reflector client will automatically disable and enable the peer session.
NOTE
Do not select the encrypted option in the CLI.
The
encrypted
option is used by the switch when generating an ASCII configuration file (using the
upload configuration
command), and parsing a switch-generated configuration file (using the
download configuration
command). Do not select the encrypted option in the CLI.

encrypted This option is for use only by the switch when generating an ASCII
