xStack® DGS-3600 Series Layer 3 Managed Gigabit Ethernet Switch BGP Dampening Settings This window is used to configure the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) process's dampening settings. The purpose of this feature is to eliminate the dampening of routes and thus to avoid unstable networks caused by flapping routes. To view this window, click L3 Features > BGP > BGP Dampening Settings, as shown below: Figure 4- 136. BGP Dampening Settings window To configure BGP dampening settings on the Switch, complete the following fields: Parameter Description Dampening State Select the BGP dampening function's state, Enabled or Disabled. Half Life (1-45) Enter the time (in minutes) after which the penalty of the reachable routes will be down, by half. The default setting is 15 minutes. Reuse (1-20000) Enter a reuse value. If the penalty for a flapping route decreases enough to fall below this value, the route is unsuppressed. The default setting is 750. Suppress (1-20000) Enter a suppress value. A route is suppressed when its penalty exceeds this limit. The default setting is 2000. Max Suppress Time Enter the maximum time (in minutes) a route can be suppressed. The default setting is 60 (1-255) minutes. Un Reachability Half Enter the time (in minutes) after which the penalty of the unreachable routes will be down, by Life (1-45) half. The default setting is 15 minutes. Route Map Action Toggle between Route Map and Clear Route Map. Route Map sets the dampening running configuration while Clear Route Map withdraws the route map configuration. Route Map String Enter a route map name to be set or withdrawn. The default value is null. Click Apply to implement changes made. 276
