neighbor maximum-prefix

This command controls the number of prefixes received from a particular neighbor. When the 
maximum number of prefixes is exceeded, a CEASE message is sent and the connection is cleared. 
To reactivate the session, enter 

clear ip bgp <IP address>

. If the number of prefixes is set to 

zero, no prefixes will be accepted from the neighbor.
