neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} maximum-prefix maximum

Parameters
ip-address Enter the IP address of the neighbor in dotted decimal
format.

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

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
