7.4.1.0 Introduced on the E-Series.
Usage Information With each flap, Dell Networking OS penalizes the interface by assigning a penalty (1024)
that decays exponentially depending on the configured half-life. After the accumulated
penalty exceeds the suppress threshold value, the interface moves to the Error-
Disabled state. This interface state is deemed as “down” by all static/dynamic Layer 2
and Layer 3 protocols. The penalty is exponentially decayed based on the half-life
timer. After the penalty decays below the reuse threshold, the interface enables. The
configured parameters are as follows:
• suppress-threshold should be greater than reuse-threshold
• max-suppress-time should be at least 4 times half-life
NOTE: You cannot apply dampening on an interface that is monitoring traffic for
other interfaces.
Example
Dell(conf-if-te-1/10)# dampening 20 800 4500 120

Commands
• clear dampening — clear the dampening counters on all the interfaces or just the
specified interface.
• show interfaces dampening — display interface dampening information.

Parameters
interface-type
slot/port[/subport]
Enter the interface type and slot/port [/subport] information:
• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port[/subport]
information.
• For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
fortyGigE then the slot/port information.
range
• For non-ON platforms, you can specify multiple ports as
slot/port-range. For example, if you want to display
information corresponding to all ports between 1 and 4,
specify the port range as show interfaces
interface-type 1/1 - 4.
• For ON platforms, you can specify multiple ports as slot/
port/[subport] - slot/port/[subport]
. For
