Syntax

undo peer { group-name | ip-address } password
View
BGP view, BGP-VPN instance view
Default level
2: System level
Parameters
group-name: Name of a peer group, a string of 1 to 47 characters.
ip-address: IP address of a peer.
cipher: Sets a ciphertext password.
simple: Sets a plaintext password.
password: Sets the password. This argument is case sensitive. It must be a ciphertext string of 1 to

Description
Use peer password to configure BGP to perform MD5 authentication when a TCP connection is
being established with a peer/peer group.
Use undo peer password to disable the function.
By default, no MD5 authentication is performed for TCP connection establishment.
Once MD5 authentication is enabled, both parties must be configured with the same authentication
mode and password. Otherwise, the TCP connection will not be set up.
The authentication password, set in plain text or cipher text, is saved to the configuration file in cipher
text.
Examples
# In BGP view, perform MD5 authentication on the TCP connection set up between the local router
10.1.100.1 and the peer router 10.1.100.2.
