Usage
Information
If you configure the neighbor maximum-prefix command and the neighbor receives
more prefixes than the
neighbor maximum-prefix command configuration 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.
