Notes

Note

  • Tested against NXOSv 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL

  • Unsupported for Cisco MDS

  • state=absent removes the whole BGP address-family’s neighbor configuration.

  • Default, when supported, removes properties

  • In order to default maximum-prefix configuration, only max_prefix_limit=default is needed.
