in the CONFIGURATION ROUTER BGP mode or
Purpose
Enter the following optional parameters to
configure route dampening parameters:
• half-life range: 1 to 45. Number of minutes
after which the Penalty is decreased. After the
router assigns a Penalty of 1024 to a route, the
Penalty is decreased by half after the half-life
period expires.
• reuse range: 1 to 20000. This number is
compared to the flapping route's Penalty value.
If the Penalty value is less than the reuse value,
the flapping route is once again advertised (or
no longer suppressed). (Default: 750)
• suppress range: 1 to 20000. This number is
compared to the flapping route's Penalty value.
If the Penalty value is greater than the suppress
value, the flapping route is no longer
advertised (that is, it is suppressed). (Default:
2000.)
• max-suppress-time range: 1 to 255. The
maximum number of minutes a route can be
suppressed. The default is four times the
half-life value. (Default: 60 minutes.)
