Usage
Information
If you configure the neighbor maximum-prefix command and the neighbor
receives more prefixes than allowed by the
neighbor maximum-prefix
command configuration, 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.
