Configuring LDP MD5 authentication
To improve security for LDP sessions, you can configure MD5 authentication for the underlying TCP connections to check the integrity of LDP messages.
For two LDP peers to establish an LDP session successfully, make sure the LDP MD5 authentication configurations on the LDP peers are consistent.
