Yeah, so this is something that needs a bit of a clean up and a v4/v6
split. Right now, you can put max prefixes in two places:

1) under the customer's overall profile which you've found above
2) on a per (vlan) interface basis.

This is historical crud more than anything else but the logic is:

if vlan interface max exists and is > 0 , use it; else use the customer
details setting.

If you have no prefixes for a customer and don't want to apply strict
prefix checking on your route servers (not advisable) then you can
uncheck the 'Apply IRRDB Filtering' under vlan interface also. Again,
this is not broken out for v4/v6 when it should be.

Note that the default action when IRRDB Filtering is enabled with no
prefixes found is to reject all.

I wouldn't advocate changing the code as it'll make upgrades difficult
but it can easily be done if you like. Perhaps open a feature request to
add a --quiet option to mute these?
