Enabling 4-byte AS number suppression
BGP supports 4-byte AS numbers. The 4-byte AS number occupies four bytes, in the range of 1 to
4294967295. By default, a device sends an Open message to the peer device for session establishment.
The Open message indicates that the device supports 4-byte AS numbers. If the peer device supports
2-byte AS numbers instead of 4-byte AS numbers, the session cannot be established. To resolve this issue,
enable the 4-byte AS number suppression function. The device then sends an Open message to inform
the peer that it does not support 4-byte AS numbers, so the BGP session can be established.
If the peer device supports 4-byte AS numbers, do not enable the 4-byte AS number suppression function.
Otherwise, the BGP session cannot be established.

Enabling MD5 authentication for BGP peers
MD5 authentication provides the following benefits:
•
Peer authentication makes sure that only BGP peers that have the same password can establish TCP
connections.
•
Integrity check makes sure that BGP packets exchanged between peers are intact.
To enable MD5 authentication for BGP peers (IPv4):
