The dldp authentication-mode md5-compatible command configures MD5-compatible authentication.
By default, DLDP packets are not authenticated.
Parameter |
Description |
Value |
|---|---|---|
md5-compatible md5-password |
Uses MD5-compatible to authenticate DLDP packets exchanged between the interfaces on the local and neighbor devices. md5-password specifies the MD5-compatible authentication password. NOTE:
To ensure security, the password is saved in cipher text in the configuration file. |
The value is a string of 1 to 16 case-sensitive characters in plain text without any question mark (?) and space.
NOTE:
During the upgrade, the device is compatible with the cipher-text passwords with different lengths before the upgrade. |
Scenario
This command is available to aid upgrade compatibility. It can only be run during the configuration restoration phase of the upgrade.
When the device that uses MD5 authentication is upgraded from V200R001 or V200R002 to V200R008 or later, to ensure compatibility, upgrade the DLDP authentication mode to MD5-compatible.
Running the dldp authentication-mode md5-compatible command is equivalent to running the dldp authentication-mode command in the system view.
