Verify the BGP MD5 Password

Use the efa fabric setting show command to verify that the MD5 password is configured on the fabric.

About this task

The password is not displayed in clear text because of security concerns. The password is displayed as a hidden string (*****) or as an encrypted string. The password is displayed as a hidden string if the fabric is not configured after the MD5 password is set. And if the fabric is configured after the password is set, then the show command displays the password as an encrypted string. This encrypted string matches the password string displayed on the SLX devices.

The same applies to the efa show-running-config command. Until the fabric is configured, the MD5 password is displayed as *****. After the fabric is configured, the encrypted string is displayed.

Procedure

Run the efa fabric setting show --name <fabric-name> --advanced command.

efa fabric setting show --name fabric1 --advanced
