to 20000.
• max-suppress-time — (Optional) Enter the maximum number of minutes a route is suppressed, from 1 to
255.
•
route-map-name — (Optional) Enter the name of the route-map.
Defaults half-life 15; reuse-limit 750; suppress-limit 2000; max-suppress-time 60
Command Mode ROUTER-BGP-AF
Usage Information To reduce the instability of the BGP process, setup route ap dampening parameters. After setting up the
dampening parameters, clear information on route dampening and return the suppressed routes to the Active
state. You can also view statistics on route apping or change the path selection from Default Deterministic mode
to Non-Deterministic mode. The no version of this command resets the value to the default.

OS10(conf-router-bgpv4-af)# dampening 2 751 2001 51 map1
Supported Releases 10.3.0E or later
