Usage Information With each flap, the system penalizes the interface by assigning a penalty (1024) that

decays exponentially depending on the configured half-life. After the accumulated

penalty exceeds the suppress threshold value, the interface moves to the Error-

Disabled state. This interface state is deemed as "down" by all static/dynamic Layer 2

and Layer 3 protocols. The penalty is exponentially decayed based on the half-life

timer. After the penalty decays below the reuse threshold, the interface enables. The

configured parameters are as follows:

Dell(conf-if-te-2/2)# dampening 20 800 4500 120

Command History

This guide is platform-specific. For command information about other platforms, refer

to the relevant Dell Networking OS Command Line Reference Guide.

The following is a list of the Dell Networking OS version history for this command.

Introduced on the E-Series.

suppress-threshold should be greater than reuse-threshold

max-suppress-time should be at least 4 times half-life

You cannot apply dampening on an interface that is monitoring traffic for

other interfaces.

clear dampening

— clears the dampening counters on all the interfaces or just the

specified interface.

show interfaces dampening

Enter a text string up to 240 characters long.

— displays interface dampening information.
