Hi Group

Small clearification ..

If my task says that donot accept more than 1000 prefix from a sender .
Logg the message when number of prefix reach 90 %

If I say following 2 :

[A]

neighbor 204.12.1.254 maximum-prefix 1000 90

[B]

neighbor 204.12.1.254 maximum-prefix 1000 90 warning-only

As far as my knowledge goes ..

[A] will logg message on crossing 900 prefix mark . [B] will also do the same .

But in case of [A] if 1000 mark is crossed ; the peering session will
be disabled .. but in [B] it will still remain UP .
Am i right ?

Is it the case that in [B] ; on crossing 1000 mark ; the router will
still continue to accept prefixes ?( I know that session will be UP
but waht abt the prefixes ?)
