Usage Information If you configure the neighbor maximum-prefix command and the neighbor
receives more prefixes than allowed by the neighbor maximum-prefix
command configuration, the neighbor goes down and the show ip bgp ipv6
unicast summary command displays (prfxd) in the State/PfxRcd column for that
neighbor. The neighbor remains down until you enter the
capture bgp-pdu
max-buffer-size command for the neighbor or the peer group to which the
neighbor belongs or you enter neighbor shutdown and neighbor no
shutdown
commands.
