Maximum-Prefix
##############

This scenario demonstrates how to configure maximum-prefix limits for IPv6 BGP neighbors.
The maximum-prefix command limits the number of prefixes accepted from a neighbor.
When the limit is exceeded, the session can be shut down or a warning can be logged.

**********************************************
Test iBGP IPv6 - Maximum-prefix limit exceeded
**********************************************

Description
===========

Test to verify that BGP session closes when maximum-prefix limit is exceeded.
DUT0 is configured with maximum-prefix 2.
DUT1 initially advertises 2 prefixes (within limit), then a third is added to exceed the limit.
