Command Mode
Router mode and Address Family mode
Usage
The neighbor maximum-prefix command allows the configuration of a specified number of prefixes that a BGP
router is allowed to receive from a neighbor. When the warning-only option is not used, if any extra prefixes
are received, the router ends the peering. A terminated peer, stays down until the clear ip bgp command is
used.
Examples
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# router bgp 10
Switch(config-router)# neighbor 10.10.0.72 maximum-prefix 1244 warning-only
