Max Prefixes Configured on Customer BGP

Fri Aug 16 03:12:00 UTC 2002

warning: operational content

	in 12.0(22)S there was a new max-prefix feature added that
people running this software (or similar) can enable to shut down
your customers who leak routes.

	Most customers don't advertize 8k prefixes, so a simple
setup like this:

(config-router)#nei 1.2.3.4 maximum-prefix 8000 restart ?
  <1-65535>  Restart interval in minutes

	and configure some reasonable number of minutes (lets say 15)
and the session will come back up for them and flap again until they
fix it.

cisco specific related list)
