Version Description
7.4.1.0 Introduced
Usage
Information
If you configure the set ipv6 next-hop command in ROUTE-MAP mode, its configuration takes
precedence over the neighbor next-hop-self command.
If you do not use the all keyword, the next hop of only eBGP-learned routes is updated by the route
reflector. If you use the all keyword, the next hop of both eBGP- and iBGP-learned routes are updated
by the route reflector.
neighbor password
Enable message digest 5 (MD5) authentication on the TCP connection between two neighbors.

Usage
Information
Configure the same password on both BGP peers or a connection does not occur. When you configure
MD5 authentication between two BGP peers, each segment of the TCP connection between them is
verified and the MD5 digest is checked on every segment sent on the TCP connection.
Configuring a password for a neighbor causes an existing session to be torn down and a new one
established.
