Configuring damping

For each damping profile, all parameters must be configured.

The suppress value must be greater than the reuse value (see Figure: Damping example).

Damping can be enabled in the config>router>bgp context on the BGP global, group, and neighbor levels. If damping is enabled, but route policy does not specify a damping profile, the default damping profile is used. This profile is always present and consists of the following parameters:

half-life:	15 minutes
max-suppress:	60 minutes
suppress:	3000
reuse:	750

Example

The following is a sample damping configuration output.

*A:cses-A13>config>router>policy-options# info
----------------------------------------------
            damping "damptest123"
                half-life 15
                max-suppress 60
                reuse 750
                suppress 1000
            exit
