Parameters half-life reuse-threshold suppress-threshold max-suppress-time Enter the number of seconds after which the penalty is decreased. The penalty is decreased by half after the half-life period expires. Range: 1 to 30 seconds Default: 5 seconds Enter a number as the reuse threshold, the penalty value below which the interface state is changed to "up". Range: 1 to 20000 Default: 750 Enter a number as the suppress threshold, the penalty value above which the interface state is changed to "error disabled". Range: 1 to 20000 Default: 2500 Enter the maximum number for which a route can be suppressed. The default is four times the half-life value. Range: 1 to 86400 Default: 20 seconds Defaults Disabled Command Modes INTERFACE (conf-if-) Command History Version 8.3.16.1 Introduced on MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module Example Figure 14-5. dampening Command Example FTOS(conf-if-tengig-3/2)#dampening 20 800 4500 120 FTOS(conf-if-tengig-3/2)# Usage Information With each flap, FTOS penalizes the interface by assigning a penalty (1024) that decays exponentially depending on the configured half-life. After the accumulated penalty exceeds the suppress threshold value, the interface is moved 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. Once the penalty decays below the reuse threshold, the interface is enabled. The configured parameters should follow: • suppress-threshold should be greater than reuse-threshold • max-suppress-time should be at least four times half-life Note: Dampening cannot be applied on an interface that is monitoring traffic for other interfaces.
