Basic configuration tasks
password [0 | 1] specifies an MD5 password for securing sessions between the Layer 3
Switch and the neighbor. You can enter a string up to 80 characters long. The string can contain
any alphanumeric characters, but the first character cannot be a number. If the password contains
a number, do not enter a space following the number.
The 0 | 1 parameter is the encryption option, which you can omit (the default) or which can be one
of the following:
• 0 – Disables encryption for the authentication string you specify with the command. The
password or string is shown as clear text in the output of commands that display neighbor or
peer group configuration information.
• 1 – Assumes that the authentication string you enter is the encrypted form, and decrypts the
value before using it.
For more information, refer to “Encryption of BGP4 MD5 authentication keys” on page 675.
NOTE
If you want the software to assume that the value you enter is the clear-text form, and to encrypt
display of that form, do not enter 0 or 1. Instead, omit the encryption option and allow the software
to use the default behavior.
If you specify encryption option 1, the software assumes that you are entering the encrypted form
of the password or authentication string. In this case, the software decrypts the password or string
you enter before using the value for authentication. If you accidentally enter option 1 followed by the
clear-text version of the password or string, authentication will fail because the value used by the
software will not match the value you intended to use.
prefix-list in | out specifies an IP prefix list. You can use IP prefix lists to control routes to
and from the neighbor. IP prefix lists are an alternative method to AS-path filters. The in | out
keyword specifies whether the list is applied on updates received from the neighbor or sent to the
neighbor. You can configure up to 1000 prefix list filters. The filters can use the same prefix list or
different prefix lists. To configure an IP prefix list, refer to
“Defining IP prefix lists” on page 709.
remote-as specifies the AS the remote neighbor is in. The can be a
number from 1 – 65535. There is no default.
remove-private-as configures the router to remove private AS numbers from UPDATE messages the
router sends to this neighbor. The router will remove AS numbers 64512 – 65535 (the well-known
BGP4 private AS numbers) from the AS-path attribute in UPDATE messages the Layer 3 Switch
sends to the neighbor. This option is disabled by default.
route-map in | out specifies a route map the Layer 3 Switch will apply to updates
sent to or received from the specified neighbor. The in | out keyword specifies whether the list is
applied on updates received from the neighbor or sent to the neighbor.
NOTE
The route map must already be configured. Refer to “Defining route maps” on page 711.
route-reflector-client specifies that this neighbor is a route-reflector client of the router. Use the
parameter only if this router is going to be a route reflector. For information, refer to
“Configuring
route reflection parameters” on page 694. This option is disabled by default.
send-community enables sending the community attribute in updates to the specified neighbor. By
default, the router does not send the community attribute.
