8.9.2 Configuring MSDP MD5 Authentication

The MSDP peers must be configured with the same authentication password; otherwise, the TCP
connection cannot be set up between MSDP peers and MSDP messages cannot be transmitted.
The authentication password on peers can be in different forms, that is, the password on one end
can be in the cipher text while the password on the peer can be in the plain text.
Context
By default, MSDP MD5 authentication is not configured.
Do as follows on the switch configured with MSDP peers:
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2 Run:
msdp
The MSDP view is displayed.
Step 3 Run:
peer peer-address password { cipher cipher-password | simple simple-password }
MSDP MD5 authentication is configured.
The MSDP MD5 authentication password is case sensitive and cannot contain any space.
The MSDP peers must be configured with the same authentication password; otherwise, the TCP
connection cannot be set up between MSDP peers and MSDP messages cannot be transmitted.
The authentication password on peers can be in different forms, that is, the password on one end
can be in the cipher text while the password on the peer can be in the plain text.

8.9.3 Configuring MSDP Key-Chain Authentication

You must configure Key-Chain authentication on both MSDP peers. Encryption algorithms and
passwords configured for Key-Chain authentication on both peers must be the same; otherwise,
the TCP connection cannot be set up between MSDP peers and MSDP messages cannot be
transmitted.
Context
By default, MSDP Key-Chain authentication is not configured.
Do as follows on the switch configured with MSDP peers:
Issue 01 (2011-10-26)
NOTE
MSDP MD5 authentication and MSDP Key-Chain authentication are mutually exclusive.
Characters $@$@ are used as the prefix and suffix of passwords with variable lengths, and they cannot be
both configured at the beginning and end of a plain text password.
