Parameters

md5: Specifies the MD5 authentication mode.

none: Specifies not to perform authentication.

simple: Specifies the plain text authentication mode.

Usage guidelines

To enable DLDP to operate correctly, make sure the DLDP authentication modes and the passwords configured on the two ends of a link are the same.

If you do not configure the authentication password after you configure the authentication mode, the authentication mode is none no matter which authentication mode you configure.

Examples

# Configure to perform plain text authentication and set the password to abc (assuming that Device A and Device B are connected by a DLDP link).

• Configure Device A:

  <DeviceA> system-view
  [DeviceA] dldp authentication-mode simple
  [DeviceA] dldp authentication-password simple abc
  

• Configure Device B:

  <DeviceB> system-view
  [DeviceB] dldp authentication-mode simple
  [DeviceB] dldp authentication-password simple abc
