The BGP Maximum-Prefix feature allows you to control how many prefixes can be received from a neighbor.

The command syntax to configure the BGP Maximum-Prefix feature is:

neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} maximum-prefix maximum [threshold] [warning-only]
Where:

maximum-Represents the maximum number of prefixes allowed from the neighbor.

threshold-An optional integer value specifying at what percentage maximum-value is configured. The router starts to generate a warning message. The range is from 1 to 100 percent
and the default is 75 percent. For example, if the maximum-value configured is 20 and the threshold 60, the router will generate warning messages or reset the neighbor relationship
depending on the configuration when the number of BGP learned routes from the neighbor exceeds 60 percent of 20 (12) routes
