CLI Guide

To disable route dampening, use the no bgp dampening [half-life reuse
suppress max-suppress-time] [route-map map-name] command.
Parameters
half-life (OPTIONAL) Enter the number of minutes after which the
Penalty is decreased. After the router assigns a Penalty of
1024 to a route, the Penalty is decreased by half after the
half-life period expires. The range is from 1 to 45. The
default is 15 minutes.
reuse (OPTIONAL) Enter a number as the reuse value, which is
compared to the flapping route’s Penalty value. If the
Penalty value is less than the reuse value, the flapping route
is once again advertised (or no longer suppressed). The
range is from 1 to 20000. The default is 750.
suppress (OPTIONAL) Enter a number as the suppress value, which is
compared to the flapping route’s Penalty value. If the
Penalty value is greater than the suppress value, the flapping
route is no longer advertised (that is, it is suppressed). The
range is from 1 to 20000. The default is 2000.
max-suppress-
time
(OPTIONAL) Enter the maximum number of minutes a route
can be suppressed. The default is four times the half-life
value. The range is from 1 to 255. The default is 60 minutes.
route-map map-
name
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword route-map then the name
of a configured route map.
Only match commands in the configured route map are
supported.

Usage Information
If you enter the bgp dampening command, the default values for half-life,
reuse, suppress, and max-suppress-time are applied. The parameters are
position-dependent; therefore, if you configure one parameter, configure the
parameters in the order they appear in the CLI.
