Re: Max Prefixes Configured on Customer BGP

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.
