Description

I am using OpenBGPD on 2.3.5 and am peering using an MD5 password to a Cisco device, when I upgraded to 2.4.2, the MD5 password is not getting passed through at all or at least incorrectly (according to the receiving end).

Below is my OpenBGPD config (sanitized):

  1. This file was created by the package manager. Do not edit!

AS 1xxxxx
fib-update yes
listen on 0.0.0.0
router-id 2.2.2.3
network 4.4.4.0/24
group "AS1" {
remote-as 2xxxxx
neighbor 2.2.2.2 {
descr "Fiber1"
announce self
local-address 0.0.0.0
}
}
group "AS2" {
remote-as 3xxxxx
neighbor 3.3.3.3 {
descr "Fiber2"
tcp md5sig password PASSWORD
announce self
local-address 0.0.0.0
}
}
deny from any
deny to any
allow from 2.2.2.2
allow to 2.2.2.2
allow from 3.3.3.3
allow to 3.3.3.3

It works OK here for me, but I do not have a cisco device to test against, only other FRR/Quagga/OpenBGPD instances.

This is likely the same issue as #7969, or something similar, but there is nothing wrong at the OS or code level to fix anymore, most likely something in your settings.

Please start a discussion on the forum, pfSense subreddit, or mailing list to track down what might be happening.
