Configuring route flap dampening
25
Here is an example.
The aggregate-address command configures an aggregate address. The summary-only parameter
prevents the Layer 3 Switch from advertising more specific routes contained within the aggregate
route. The show ip bgp route command shows that the more specific routes aggregated into
209.1.0.0/16 have been suppressed. In this case, the route to 209.1.44.0/24 has been
suppressed. The following command indicates that the route is not being advertised to the Layer 3
Switch BGP4 neighbors.
If you want to override the summary-only parameter and allow a specific route to be advertised to a
neighbor, enter commands such as the following.
The ip prefix-list command configures an IP prefix list for network 209.1.44.0/24, which is the
route you want to unsuppress. The next two commands configure a route map that uses the prefix
list as input. The neighbor command enables the Layer 3 Switch to advertise the routes specified in
the route map to neighbor 10.1.0.2. The clear command performs a soft reset of the session with
the neighbor so that the Layer 3 Switch can advertise the unsuppressed route.
Syntax: [no] neighbor <ip-addr> | <peer-group-name> unsuppress-map <map-name>
The following command verifies that the route has been unsuppressed.
