Parameters

half-life-reachable: Specifies a half-life for active routes, in the range of 1 to 45 minutes. By default, the value is 15 minutes.

half-life-unreachable: Specifies a half-life for suppressed routes, in the range of 1 to 45 minutes. By default, the value is 15 minutes.

reuse: Specifies a reuse threshold value for suppressed routes, in the range of 1 to 20000. A suppressed route whose penalty value decreases under the value is reused. By default, the reuse value is 750. The reuse threshold must be less than the suppression threshold.

suppress: Specifies a suppression threshold in the range of 1 to 20000. The route with a penalty value greater than the threshold is suppressed. The default value is 2000.

ceiling: Specifies a ceiling penalty value in the range of 1001 to 20000. The value must be greater than the suppress value. By default, the value is 16000.

route-policy route-policy-name: Specifies a routing policy by its name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 63 characters.

Usage guidelines

This command dampens only EBGP routes.

If an EBGP peer goes down after you configure this command, routes coming from the peer are dampened but not deleted.

Examples

# In BGP IPv4 unicast address family view, configure BGP route dampening. Set the half-life for both active and suppressed routes to 10 minutes, the reuse threshold to 1000, the suppression threshold to 2000, and the ceiling penalty to 10000.
