You can update an md5-password on
an active fabric.
About this task
When you update the md5-password on
an active (already configured) fabric followed by the efa fabric configure
operation, the efa fabric
configure operation is considered successful even though the operational
state (for example, CONN) of the fabric BGP peers (after efa fabric configure) is
worse than the previous (before efa fabric configure) operational state (for example, ESTABLISHED) of the
fabric BGP peers. The system shows a warning message to indicate the worsened state of
BGP peers.
Note
Run the
efa fabric topology show underlay
--name <fabric-name> command to get the latest status of the BGP
session.
Procedure
-
Run the efa fabric
setting update command.
efa fabric setting update --name fabric1 --md5-password-enable Yes --md5-password 'newpassword'
WARNING: configuring/clearing md5-password on an active fabric will result in BGP neighbor sessions going down for a brief period when the fabric is reconfigured.
Please confirm if you want to continue with the fabric setting update [y/n]?y
