Description This command configures the maximum number of routes BGP can learn from a peer.
When the number of routes reaches a certain percentage (default is 90% of this limit), an SNMP trap
is sent. When the limit is exceeded, the BGP peering is dropped and disabled.
The no form of the command removes the prefix-limit.

log-only — Enables the warning message to be sent at the specified threshold percentage, and also
when the limit is exceeded. However, the BGP peering is not dropped.

default value is 90%.
