Path

 

Shows the AS-path information for the route.

 

 

 

You also can display all the dampened routes by entering the following command:

USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE

You cannot display dampening statistics using the Web management interface.

Clearing Route Flap Dampening Statistics

To clear route flap dampening statistics, use the following CLI method.

NOTE: Clearing the dampening statistics for a route does not change the dampening status of the route.

USING THE CLI

To clear all the route dampening statistics, enter the following command at any level of the CLI:

HP9300# clear ip bgp flap-statistics

Syntax: clear ip bgp flap-statistics [regular-expression <regular-expression> <address> <mask> neighbor <ip­ addr>]

The parameters are the same as those for the show ip bgp flap-statisticscommand (except the longer­ prefixes option is not supported). See “Displaying Route Flap Dampening Statistics” on page 10-79.

NOTE: The clear ip bgp damping command not only clears statistics but also un-suppresses the routes. See “Displaying Route Flap Dampening Statistics” on page 10-79.

USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE

You cannot clear dampening statistics using the Web management interface.

Statically Allocating Memory for the HP 6308M-SX Routing Switch

NOTE: These procedures apply only to the HP 6308M-SX. The HP 6308M-SX uses static memory allocation for BGP4.

Changing the Maximum Number of Neighbors

You can change the maximum number of BGP4 neighbors the HP 6308M-SX routing switch can have using either of the following methods.

10 - 80
