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 prexes is reached.
NOTE: When you set this option, the router accepts BGP prexes only until
the maximum congured value. After the maximum number is reached, the
router drops any additional prexes that it receives.

Usage Information If you congure the neighbor maximum-prefix command and the neighbor receives more prexes
than the neighbor maximum-prefix command conguration 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.
