dldp authentication-password Use dldp authentication-password to configure the password for DLDP authentication. Use undo dldp authentication-password to restore the default. Syntax dldp authentication-password { cipher cipher | simple simple } undo dldp authentication-password Default No DLDP authentication password is configured. Views System view Predefined user roles network-admin Parameters cipher cipher: Sets a ciphertext password. The cipher argument is a case-sensitive string of 1 to 53 characters. simple simple: Sets a plaintext password. The simple argument is a case-sensitive string of 1 to 16 characters. Usage guidelines For security purposes, all DLDP authentication passwords, including passwords configured in plain text, are saved in cipher text. To enable DLDP to operate properly, 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.
