Motorola BSR 2000 manual Bgp dampening, No bgp dampening, Route-map Word

Release 1.0 BGP Commands

bgp dampening

The bgp dampening command enables BGP route dampening. The no bgp dampening command to sets the default values or disables this function.

Note: The penalty is halved after the half-life period when a route is flapping. The router configured for damping (dampening) assigns a penalty to a route when a route flaps. Penalties are cumulative and are stored in the BGP routing table. A flapping route is suppressed when its penalty exceeds the suppress limit. A suppressed route is reused when its decayed penalty falls below the reuse limit.
