Usage
Information
To determine a BGP session flap, both a route-down event and a subsequent route-up event
corresponding to a single route are considered. As a result, a flap event is penalized only one time during
the route-down event. The subsequent route-up event corresponding to the same route is not considered
as a flap and is not penalized.
The history paths that the show ip bgp command displays contain only the prefix and the next-hop
information. The next-hop information shows the ip address of the neighbor. It does not show the actual
next-hop details.
The following describes the show ip bgp damp command shown in the following example.
Field Description
Network Displays the network ID to which the route is dampened.
From Displays the IP address of the neighbor advertising the dampened route.
Reuse Displays the hour:minutes:seconds until the dampened route is available.
Path Lists all the ASs the dampened route passed through to reach the destination
network.

BGP Extended Communities (RFC 4360)
BGP Extended Communities, as defined in RFC 4360, is an optional transitive BGP attribute.
BGP Extended Communities provides two major advantages over Standard Communities:
● The range is extended from 4-octet (AA:NN) to 8-octet (Type:Value) to provide enough number communities.
● Communities are structured using a new “Type” field (1 or 2-octets), allowing you to provide granular control/filter routing
information based on the type of extended communities.
set extcommunity rt
To set Route Origin community attributes in Route Map, use this feature.
Syntax
set extcommunity rt {as4 ASN4:NN [non-trans] | ASN:NNNN [non-trans] |
IPADDR:NN [non-trans]} [additive]
