Usage
Information
To determine a BGP session flap, both a route-down event and a subsequent route-up event
corresponding to a single route are considered. As a result, a flap event is penalized only one time during
the route-down event. The subsequent route-up event corresponding to the same route is not considered
as a flap and is not penalized.
The history paths that the show ip bgp command displays contain only the prefix and the next-hop
information. The next-hop information shows the ip address of the neighbor. It does not show the actual
next-hop details.
The following describes the show ip bgp damp command shown in the following example.
Field Description
Network Displays the network ID to which the route is dampened.
From Displays the IP address of the neighbor advertising the dampened route.
Reuse Displays the hour:minutes:seconds until the dampened route is available.
Path Lists all the ASs the dampened route passed through to reach the destination
network.
