Options

disable—Disable damping on a per-prefix basis. Any damping state that is present in the routing table for a prefix is deleted if damping is disabled.

Range: 1 through 45
Default: 15 minutes

max-suppress minutes—Maximum hold-down time. minutes is the maximum time that a route can be suppressed no matter how unstable it has been.

Range: 1 through 720
Default: 60 minutes

name—Name that identifies the set of damping parameters. The name can contain letters, numbers, and hyphens (-) and can be up to 255 characters long. To include spaces in the name, enclose it in quotation marks (“ ”).

reuse number—Reuse threshold. number is the figure-of-merit value below which a suppressed route can be used again.

Range: 1 through 20,000
Default: 750 (unitless)

suppress number—Cutoff (suppression) threshold. number is the figure-of-merit value above which a route is suppressed for use or inclusion in advertisements.

Range: 1 through 20,000
Default: 3000 (unitless)
