Description
Configures the maximum number of IP prefixes accepted for all neighbors in the peer group.
Syntax Description
Default
This feature is disabled by default.
The default threshold is 75%.
By default,
teardown
is not specified.
By default,
send-traps
is not specified.
If no address family is specified, IPv4 unicast is the default.
Usage Guidelines
Configure the peer group before configuring the neighbors. To configure the neighbors, use the
following command:
configure bgp neighbor 192.168.1.1 maximum-prefix
name
Specifies a peer group.
address-family
The address family. BGP supports two address families: IPv4 Unicast and IPv4
Multicast.
number
Specifies the maximum number of prefixes that can be accepted. The range is
0 to 4294967294. A value of 0 disables prefix limit feature.
percent
Specifies the percentage of the maximum prefix (threshold) at which a warning
message is printed in the log (and on the console). An SNMP trap can also be
sent.
teardown
Specifies that the peer session is torn down when the maximum is exceeded.
seconds
Specifies the length of time before the session is re-established, if the session
has been torn down due to exceeding the max limit. If the hold down interval
is 0 or not specified, it is kept down until the peer is enabled. The range is 30
to 86400 seconds.
send-traps
Specifies sending “number of prefix reached threshold” and “number of prefix
exceed the max-prefix limit” SNMP traps.
