Configuration restrictions and guidelines
When you configure dampening on an Ethernet interface, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
• The dampening command and the link-delay command cannot be configured together 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.
