N Commands > neighbor maximum-prefix

neighbor maximum-prefix

Description: 

Sets the number of prefixes that can be received from a neighbor. The no version removes the maximum prefix limitation.

Syntax: 

neighbor { ipAddress | peerGroupName } maximum-prefix maximum
[ threshold ] [ strict ] [ warning-only ]

no neighbor { ipAddress | peerGroupName } maximum-prefix [ maximum ]
[ threshold ] [ strict ] [ warning-only ]

• ipAddress—Neighbor IP address
• peerGroupName—Name of the BGP peer group. If you specify a BGP peer group by using the peerGroupName argument, all the members of the peer group inherit the characteristic configured with this command, unless it is overridden for a specific peer.
• maximum—Maximum number of prefixes; default value is no limit
• threshold—Percent of maximum at which to log a warning in the range 0-100; default value is 75
• strict—Checks the maximum prefix limit against all received routes rather than the default behavior of checking it only against accepted routes
• warning-only—Causes BGP software to log a warning, rather than reset the connection if the maximum or threshold value is exceeded
