Conguring wavelength for 10–Gigabit SFP+ optics
You can set the wavelength for tunable 10–Gigabit SFP+ optics using the wavelength command. To set the wavelength, follow these
steps:
• Enter the interface mode and set the wavelength.
INTERFACE mode
wavelength 1529.0
The wavelength range is from 1528.3 nm to 1568.77nm.
• Verify conguration changes.

Link Dampening
Interface state changes occur when interfaces are administratively brought up or down or if an interface state changes.
Every time an interface changes a state or aps, routing protocols are notied of the status of the routes that are aected by the change in
state. These protocols go through the momentous task of re-converging. Flapping; therefore, puts the status of entire network at risk of
transient loops and black holes.
Link dampening minimizes the risk created by apping by imposing a penalty for each interface ap and decaying the penalty exponentially.
After the penalty exceeds a certain threshold, the interface is put in an Error-Disabled state and for all practical purposes of routing, the
interface is deemed to be “down.” After the interface becomes stable and the penalty decays below a certain threshold, the interface
comes up again and the routing protocols re-converge.
Link dampening:
• reduces processing on the CPUs by reducing excessive interface apping.
• improves network stability by penalizing misbehaving interfaces and redirecting trac.
• improves convergence times and stability throughout the network by isolating failures so that disturbances are not propagated.
Important Points to Remember
• Link dampening is not supported on VLAN interfaces.
• Link dampening is disabled when the interface is congured for port monitoring.
• You can apply link dampening to Layer 2 and Layer 3 interfaces.
• You can congure link dampening on individual interfaces in a LAG.
