Configuring BGP Authentication
BGP authentication allows users to receive selected routing information, enhancing
security of their network traffic. When BGP authentication is enabled on a peer, the peer
verifies routing packet it receives by exchanging a password that is configured on both
the sending and the receiving peers.
In this example, both Peer 1 and Peer 2 have manager as the password.
Configure the same password on all routers that are to communicate using BGP in a
network.
