Peer Password - HP 6125G Command Reference Manual

By default, routes advertised to an EBGP peer/peer group take the local router as the next hop, and
routes sent to an IBGP peer/peer group do not take the local router as the next hop.
Examples
# In BGP view, set the next hop of routes advertised to peer group test to the router itself.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] bgp 100
[Sysname-bgp] peer test next-hop-local
# In BGP-VPN instance view, set the next hop of routes advertised to peer group test to the router itself.
(The VPN has been created.)
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] bgp 100
[Sysname-bgp] ipv4-family vpn-instance vpn1
[Sysname-bgp-ipv4-vpn1] peer test next-hop-local

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 137

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.
