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.
