set protocols bgp neighbor password

The set protocols bgp neighbor password command enables message digest5 (MD5) authentication on a TCP connection between two BGP neighbors. When the password is applied to a peer-group, all the neighbors that are part of peer-group inherit the configured
setting. The neighbor connection must be reset using clear ip bgp to allow this configuration to take effect.

The delete protocols bgp neighbor password command disables this feature.

set protocols bgp [vrf <vrf-name>] {neighbor <ip>| peer-group <peer-group> | interface <interface>} password <text-password>
