Enable 4-byte AS number
suppression
NOTE:
If the peer device supports 4-byte AS numbers, do not enable the 4-byte AS number suppression function;
otherwise, the BGP peer relationship cannot be established.

Enabling MD5 authentication for TCP connections

IPv6 BGP employs TCP as the transport protocol. To enhance security, configure IPv6 BGP to perform
MD5 authentication when establishing a TCP connection. If the authentication fails, no TCP connection
can be established.
Follow these steps to enable MD5 authentication for TCP connections:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter BGP view
Enter IPv6 address family view
Enable MD5 authentication when
establishing a TCP connection to
the peer or peer group
NOTE:
The MD5 authentication for establishing TCP connections does not apply to BGP packets.
•
The MD5 authentication requires that the two parties have the same authentication mode and password
•
to establish a TCP connection; otherwise, no TCP connection can be established due to authentication
failure.
