neighbor local-as
To accept external routes from neighbors with a local AS number in the AS number path, configure Internal BGP (IBGP) routers.
Syntax
neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} local-as as-number [no-prepend]
To return to the default value, use the no neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name}
local-as command.
Parameters
ip-address Enter the IP address of the neighbor in dotted decimal format.
peer-group-name Enter the name of the peer group to set the advertisement interval for all routers in
the peer group.
as-number Enter the AS number to reset all neighbors belonging to that AS. The range is from
0 to 65535 (2 byte), from 1 to 4294967295 (4 byte) or from 0.1 to 65535.65535
(dotted format).
no prepend Specifies that local AS values do not prepend to announcements from the neighbor.
Defaults Not configured.

neighbor maximum-prefix
Control the number of network prefixes received.
Syntax
neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} maximum-prefix maximum [threshold]
[warning-only]
To return to the default values, use the no neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name}
maximum-prefix maximum command.
Parameters
ip-address Enter the IP address of the neighbor in dotted decimal format.
peer-group-name Enter the name of the peer group.
maximum Enter a number as the maximum number of prefixes allowed for this BGP router.
The range is from 1 to 4294967295.
threshold (OPTIONAL) Enter a number to be used as a percentage of the maximum value.
When the number of prefixes reaches this percentage of the maximum value, the
software sends a message. The range is from 1 to 100 percent. The default is 75.
warning-only (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword warning-only to set the router to send a log
message when the maximum value is reached. If this parameter is not set, the
router stops peering when the maximum number of prefixes is reached.
Defaults threshold = 75
