Description | This article describes how to configure 'set auth-options' when the MD5 password is set for the BGP neighbor (TCP-AO). |
Scope |
A new feature has been released to improve BGP security with the TCP Authentication Option (TCP-AO) in version v7.4.2. This integration provides enhanced security and reliability of BGP connections and contributes to the overall security of the internet. |
Solution |
Initial configuration for TCP-AO as described in the below link: BGP incorporates the advanced security measures of TCP Authentication Option (TCP-AO) 7.4.2
The 'set auth-options' option is not visible If MD5 is already enabled for the neighbor (set password).
Example output :
FGT # config router bgp FGT (bgp) # config neighbor FGT (neighbor) # edit 10.10.10.10 <----- Select the neighbor to enable TCP-AO. FGT (10.10.10.10) # show FGT (10.10.10.10) # set auth-options <----- Command will not be listed. command parse error before 'auth-options' FGT (10.10.10.10) #
To configure the key-chain for the BGP neighbor, the MD5 password needs to be removed first.
FGT (10.10.10.10) #unset password
FGT (10.10.10.10) # next FGT (neighbor) # edit 10.10.10.10 FGT (10.10.10.10) # set auth-options |
