DAMPENING
Mode [BGP4+] IPv6 Address Family Configuration
Usage Route dampening minimizes the instability caused by route flapping. A penalty is
added for every flap in a flapping route. As soon as the total penalty reaches the
suppress limit the advertisement of the route is suppressed. This penalty is
decayed according to the configured half time value. Once the penalty is lower
than the reuse limit, the route advertisement is un-suppressed.
The dampening information is purged from the router once the penalty becomes
less than half of the reuse limit.
Example [BGP]
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# router bgp 11
awplus(config-router)# bgp dampening 20 800 2500 80 25
