bgp memory maxallocation
This command sets the maximum percentage of total memory that maybe allocated to the
BGP routing process. This limit is only enforced for BGP memory allocation related with routes
management. When memory allocated exceed the specified maximum limit, the BGP peering
will be terminated with the Cease notification and error sub-code of ’Out of resources’. The
default maximum percentage of memory usage for BGP is 100%, i.e. BGP may use all available
memory for itself, if it needs to.
The
no bgp memory maxallocation
command sets the maximum percentage of total memory
that maybe allocated to the BGP routing process back to the default value which is 100%.
