This object is used in conjunction with the address-family specific bgpPeerAfiSafiMaxPrfxClear to control when a bgpPeerAfiSafiMaxPrefixClear trap is sent. This trap will only be sent if the number of prefixes associated with this peer drops to this level AND a bgpPeerAfiSafiMaxPrefix trap has previously been sent. In the case where bgpPeerConfigMaxPrfx is non-zero, a non-zero value of bgpPeerMaxPrfxClear is applied to the number of prefixes (totalled across all supported address families). The peer may be configured to ignore this field and instead obtain the value from a peer group as explained in the table description. Alternatively, in the case where bgpPeerConfigMaxPrfx is zero and per-AFI/SAFI configuration is being applied, separate values can be specified for each address family. To configure this, set bgpPeerMaxPrfxClear to zero and set bgpPeerAfiSafiMaxPrfxClear for each address family for which a clear level is required.
