Explanation:
BGP Authentication
BGP supports MD5 authentication between neighbors, using a shared password. It is configured
under BGP router configuration mode with the command neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name}
password password.
When authentication is configured, BGP authenticates every TCP segment from its peer and
checks the source of each routing update. Most ISPs require authentication for their EBGP peers.
