Clearing route flap dampening statistics
To clear route flap dampening statistics, use the following CLI method.
NOTE
Clearing the dampening statistics for a route does not change the dampening status of the route.
To clear all the route dampening statistics, enter the following command at any level of the CLI.
PowerConnect#clear ip bgp flap-statistics
Syntax: clear ip bgp flap-statistics [regular-expression <regular-expression> | <address> <mask>
The parameters are the same as those for the show ip bgp flap-statistics command (except the
longer-prefixes option is not supported). Refer to
page 1059.
NOTE
The clear ip bgp damping command not only clears statistics but also un-suppresses the routes.
Refer to
