1692
configure bgp neighbor password
configure bgp neighbor [all | <remoteaddr>] password [none | {encrypted}
<tcpPassword>]
Description
Configures an MD5 secret password for a neighbor.
Syntax Description
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
Disable the BGP neighbor or the BGP protocol before changing the password.
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.
The
encrypted
option is used by the switch when generating a configuration file, and when parsing a
switch-generated configuration file. Do not select the encrypted option in the CLI.

Extreme
