Setting the maximum number of dynamic neighbor entries

The device can dynamically acquire the link-layer address of a neighboring node through NS and NA messages and add it into the neighbor table. When the number of dynamic neighbor entries reaches the threshold, the interface stops learning neighbor information. To prevent an interface from occupying too many neighbor table resources, you can set the maximum number of dynamic neighbors that an interface can learn.

To set the maximum number of dynamic neighbor entries:

Step
