Information
If a local-as is configured, BGP does not allow for the configuration of BGP
confederation. Similarly, if BGP confederation is configured, then BGP does not
allow the configuration of local-as.
This command automatically restarts the neighbor session for the configuration to
take effect.

Syntax
neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} maximum-prefix maximum
[threshold] [warning-only]
To return to the default values, use the no neighbor {ip-address | peer-
group-name} maximum-prefix maximum command.
Parameters
ip-address Enter the IP address of the neighbor in dotted decimal
format.
peer-group-
name
Enter the name of the peer group.
maximum Enter a number as the maximum number of prefixes allowed
for this BGP router. The range is from 1 to 4294967295.
threshold (OPTIONAL) Enter a number to be used as a percentage of
the maximum value. When the number of prefixes reaches
this percentage of the maximum value, the E-Series software
sends a message. The range is from 1 to 100 percent. The
default is 75.
warning-only (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword warning-only to set the
router to send a log message when the maximum value is
reached. If this parameter is not set, the router stops peering
when the maximum number of prefixes is reached.
NOTE: When you set this option, the router accepts BGP
prefixes only until the maximum configured value. After
the maximum number is reached, the router drops any
additional prefixes that it receives.
Defaults threshold = 75
