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