The following considerations apply.
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
The following example displays a damping configuration:
*A:cses-A13>config>router>policy-options# info
----------------------------------------------
damping "damptest123"
half-life 15
max-suppress 60
reuse 750
suppress 1000
exit
----------------------------------------------
