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

This scenario demonstrates how to configure the maximum-prefix limit for a BGP neighbor.
When the number of prefixes received from a neighbor exceeds the configured limit,
the BGP session is automatically closed to protect the routing table.

***********************************

***********************************

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.
