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.
