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 E-Series 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.
NOTE: When you set this option, the router accepts BGP
prefixes only until the maximum configured value. After
the maximum number is reached, the router drops any
additional prefixes that it receives.
Defaults threshold = 75
