[f-nsp] Max BGP peers BigIron RX4

Hi Ryan,

Thank you for replying so quickly.
I do not see any such value, as I thought of that as well. I am most likely really overlooking it (I hope).
Could it be the max session limit perhaps?

Do a 'sh def val'.

My guess is you need to set the 'system-max' for max BGP peers.
