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. Dampening limits the notication of status to the routing protocols. Link dampening minimizes the risk
created by apping by imposing a penalty (1024) for each interface ap and decaying the penalty exponentially based on the half-time.
When the accumulated penalty exceeds a certain threshold (suppress 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 (reuse threshold), the interface comes up again and the routing protocols re-converge.
You congure link dampening using the dampening [[[[half-life] [reuse-threshold]] [suppress-threshold]]
[
max-suppress-time]] command on the interface.
Following is the detailed explanation of interface state change events:
• suppress-threshold— The suppress threshold is a value that triggers a apping interface to dampen. The system adds penalty
when the interface state goes up and down. When the accumulated penalty reaches the default or congured suppress threshold, the
interface state changes to Error-Disabled state. The range of suppress threshold is from 1 to 20000. The default is 2500.
• half-life— The accumulated penalty decays exponentially based on the half-life period. The accumulated penalty decreases half
after each half-life period. The range of half-life is from 1 to 30 seconds. The default is
5 seconds.
• reuse-threshold— After exponential decay, the penalty reaches the default or congured reuse threshold. The interface is
unsuppressed and the state changes to “up”. The range of reuse threshold is from 1 to 20000. The default is 750.
• max-suppress-time— The maximum amount of time during which the interface remain suppressed. The range is from 1 to 86400.
The default is 20 seconds or four times the default half-life period (5 seconds).
NOTE
:
suppress-threshold should be greater than reuse-threshold.
max-suppress-time should be at least 4 times half-life.
