Command Reference
Description Once MD5 authentication is enabled, both parties involved in the authentication must
be configured with the exact authentication mode and password. Otherwise, the TCP
connection will not be set up because of the failed authentication.
This command is used to configure MD5 authentication for a specific peer only when
the peer group to which the peer belongs is not configured with MD5 authentication.
Otherwise, the peer group configuration takes precedence.
