Greetings.
I am in the process of turning up bgp with a customer and have run into the following problem.
The customer is using a Cisco router with ios 11.1.20.
Im using a GRF400.
The session wont establish and this is what the log is showing:
Sep 18 15:50:59

Sep 18 15:50:59 BGP SEND Notification code 2 (Open Message Error) subcode 4 (unsupported authentication code)
Sep 18 15:50:59
Sep 18 15:50:59 NOTIFICATION sent to 209.239.69.1+32617 (proto): code 2 (Open Message Error) subcode 4 (unsupported authentication code) data
it appears that the cisco is sending us an authcode that we don't recognize.
Is there a way to prevent the cisco from sending the authcode 8 or change the authcode to something
more civilized, like authcode 0.
The customer is willing to change their IOS version if necessary but it is not the preferred resolution.
Any suggestions on how I could get this to work?
