Fix Recommendation

Configure the router to use unique keys for each AS that it peers with as shown in the example below.

[edit protocols bgp]
set group GROUP_AS66 authentication-key abc123
set group GROUP_AS44 authentication-key xyz123

Check Contents

Review the BGP configuration to determine if it is peering with multiple autonomous systems.

Interview the ISSM and router administrator to determine if unique keys are being used.

protocols {
bgp {
group AS44 {
type external;
peer-as 44;
neighbor x.x.x.x {
authentication-key "$8$tBga0ORx7VsYoIEgJ"; ## SECRET-DATA
}
}
group AS66 {
type external;
peer-as 66;
neighbor x.x.x.x {
authentication-key "$8$Q4953nCrlMLX-9A7V"; ## SECRET-DATA
}
}
}

If unique keys are not being used, this is a finding.
