Parameter Description
Half-life period The number of seconds it takes for the penalty to reduce by half. The configurable range
is 1-30 seconds. Def
ault value is 5 seconds.
Reuse Threshold The value of the penalty at which the dampened interface is restored. The configurable
range is 1-20,000. The def
ault value is 1000.
Suppress Threshold The value of the penalty at which the interface is dampened. The configurable range is 1-
20,000. The default v
alue is 2000.
Max Suppress Time The maximum amount of time (in seconds) an interface can be in suppressed state after
it st
ops flapping. The configurable range is 1-255 seconds. The default value is four
times of half-life period. If half-period value is allowed to default, the maximum suppress
