(Optional) Time (in minutes) after which a penalty is decreased. Once the interface has
been assigned a penalty, the penalty is decreased by half after the half-life period. The
process of reducing the penalty happens every 5 seconds. The range of the half-life
period is 1 to 45 minutes. The default is 1 minute.
(Optional) Penalty value below which a stable interface is unsuppressed. Range is from
1 through 20000. Default value is 750.
(Optional) Limit at which an interface is suppressed when its penalty exceeds that limit.
Range is from 1 through 20000, and must be greater than the reuse threshold. The
default value is 2000.
(Optional) Maximum time (in minutes) that an interface can be suppressed. This value
effectively acts as a ceiling that the penalty value cannot exceed. Default value is four
times the half-life period.
