Restrictions and guidelines
• The dampening, link-delay, and port link-flap protect enable commands are
mutually exclusive on an interface.
• The
dampening command does not take effect on the administratively down events. When
you execute the
shutdown command, the penalty restores to 0, and the interface reports the
down event to the upper-layer protocols.
• Do not enable the dampening feature on an interface with RRPP, MSTP, or Smart Link enabled.

By default, interface dampening is disabled on Ethernet interfaces.
Enabling link flapping protection on an interface
About link flapping protection
Link flapping on an interface changes network topology and increases the system overhead. For
example, in an active/standby link scenario, when interface status on the active link changes
