Configuring Flap Dampening

This section presents a flap dampening configuration example. The example configures a static route on Router 1 that is redistributed to Router 2. On Router 2 a flap table is configured and applied to an inbound route-map that will monitor the link between Router 2 and Router 1. Using show output, the example tracks the changes in route penalty over two flaps of the route that result in the route being suppressed. After waiting for the 5 minute hold-time to expire, the show output displays the route as unsuppressed.
