Release Information

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 9.2.

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 9.2 for EX Series switches.

Description

Configure a limit to the number of prefixes that can be accepted on a BGP peer session. When that limit is exceeded, a system log message is sent. You can optionally specify to reset the BGP session when the number of accepted prefixes exceeds the specified limit.

This statement provides the ability to log a message, reset the BGP session, or do both when the number of prefixes received from the peer and accepted by policy exceeds a preset limit. This functionality is identical to the prefix-limit functionality except that it operates against accepted prefixes rather than received prefixes.

Options

idle-timeout (forever | minutes)—Specify that a BGP session that has been reset is not reestablished until after the specified timeout period. Specify forever to prevent the BGP session from being reestablished until the clear bgp neighbor command is issued.

maximum number—Limit the number of prefixes that can be accepted on a BGP peer session. A system log message is sent when that number is exceeded.

Range: 1 through 4,294,967,295 (232 – 1)

teardown <percentage 1/n threshold>—Specify to reset the BGP peer session when the specified limit to the number of prefixes that can be accepted is exceeded. If you specify a percentage, a system log message is sent when the accepted number of prefixes on the BGP session exceeds the specified percentage of the configured limit. After a BGP session is reset, it is reestablished within a short time unless you include the idle-timeout statement.

Range: 1 through 100

Range: 1 through 2400

Required Privilege Level
