In different addrses families, the default maximum numbers of prefix

The default number in the IPv4 VRF, VPNv4 address family is 1000;

4294967295.

In a BGP address family, the routing prefix may be introduced
through the redistribute or the neighbor learning. Once the routing
prefix in the BGP address family reaches the maximum number, this
address family will enter to the overflow state.
Use the show bgp { addressfamily | all } summary command to
show the state of routing database.
It is necessary to reconfigure the BGP for state clearing, or use the
clear bgp { addressfamily | all } * command to reset the address
family.
Note:
When the address family is overflow, it fails to use this command for
modification.
The following example shows how to set the maximum number of
prefix in the BGP routing database in the ipv4 multicast address
