Using Site Manager
Configuring and Enabling MD5 Authentication
BGP-4 TCP MD5 authentication lets you configure BGP peers to ensure secure
message interchange. BGP-4 TCP MD5 message authentication provides the
following features:
• A TCP MD5 signature can exist for BGP peers.
• Authentication and secret keys are configurable on a per-peer basis. Peers
configured with common secret keys can authenticate each other and
exchange routing information.
• Configurations can concurrently have BGP peers with authentication enabled
and authentication disabled.
• Keys can be stored as either clear text or encrypted, and this storage mode can
be set on a per-peer basis.
