Usage With each flap, The Dell Networking OS penalizes the interface by assigning a
Information 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:

Enter the maximum number for which a route can be
suppressed. The default is four times the half-life value. The
range is from 1 to 86400. The default is 20 seconds.
Introduced on the M I/O Aggregator. This command is
supported in Programmable-Mux (PMUX) mode only.
Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
suppress-threshold should be greater than reuse-threshold
max-suppress-time should be at least 4 times half-life
NOTE: You cannot apply dampening on an interface that is monitoring traffic
for other interfaces.
