The MD5 password used by peers in this peer group. For individual peers, this can be configured using bgpPeerPassword. This value is passed to the sockets stub at peer creation. The password length must be set to the length of the password string. This field can be changed at any time. However, if a peer is configured to use the peer group field and the field is changed while the peer is row_status ACTIVE, the change will only take effect after the peer has been cycled row_status NOT_IN_SERVICE and then ACTIVE, thus forcing the peer session to be recreated. In this case, until the peer is set row_status NOT_IN_SERVICE, the peer will be marked as out of date (as reported by the config_state field in the AMB_BGP_PEER_STATUS row for the peer).
