Usage Information

confederation is configured, then BGP does not allow the configuration of local-as.
This command automatically restarts the neighbor session for the configuration to take effect.

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
