DLDP Configuration Commands
1-4
simple-password: Password for authentication with the peer port, a plaintext string in
the range of 1 character to 16 characters.
md5: Specifies the mode of authentication with the peer port to MD5.
Description
Use the dldp authentication-mode command to set the DLDP authentication mode
and password for the ports of the local and peer devices.
Use the undo dldp authentication-mode to cancel the DLDP authentication mode
and password for the ports of the local and peer devices.
By default, authentication mode is none, that is, authentication is not performed.
Note that:
When you configure the DLDP authentication mode and authentication password,
make sure the same DLDP authentication mode and password are set for the ports
connecting the local and peer devices. Otherwise, DLDP authentication fails. DLDP
cannot work when DLDP authentication fails.
