Configuring neighbor relationship authentication
With neighbor relationship authentication configured, an interface adds the password in the specified mode into hello packets to the peer and checks the password in the received hello packets. If the authentication succeeds, it forms the neighbor relationship with the peer.
The authentication mode and password at both ends must be identical.
