cutoff

This command specifies the route suppression threshold.

Syntax

cutoff threshold
no cut-off

Parameters

threshold Specifies the route penalty value above which the route is suppressed. Valid values are 1 - 10000. Default value is 125.

Defaults

None.

Mode

Dampen Flap Configuration.

Usage

Each route withdrawal adds 100 to the route penalty. For route dampening, the cutoff and reuse thresholds are compared against the route penalty for a particular route. So with the default cutoff threshold of 125, the route dampening suppresses the route after two withdrawals, and the route stays suppressed for approximately 10 minutes (calculated using the half life, an initial penalty of 200, and a reuse threshold of 50). After 15 minutes, should the route still be suppressed due to additional withdrawals, the route will be unsuppressed due to the hold-time setting of 15 minutes.

The “no” form of this command resets the cut-off threshold to its default value of 125.

Example

The following example configures the cut-off value for the flap table flap1 as 150.

System(su-config)->dampen-flap flap1
System(su-config-dampen-flap)->cutoff 150
