Viewing global flap-dampening configurations

Display global information about flap-dampening.

Procedure

To enter User EXEC mode, log on to the switch.
Display global information about flap-dampening:

show ip bgp flap-damp-config [prefix/len] [vrf WORD<1–16>] [vrfids WORD<0–512>]

Example

Switch(config)# show ip bgp flap-damp-config vrf vrf1

Variable Definitions

The following table defines parameters for the show ip bgp flap-damp-config command.


Variable	Value
<prefix/len>	Shows paths with this prefix. The prefix is the IP address and exact mask length (must be an integer value from 0–32).
vrf WORD<1–16>	Specifies a VRF instance by name (the string length ranges from 1–16 characters).
vrfids WORD<0–512>	Specifies a range of VRFs by ID number (the ID ranges from 0–512).

Job aid

Table 1. show ip bgp flap-damp-config field descriptions
Field	Description
Status	Indicates the global state of the route flap dampening feature. Valid values are enable or disable.
PolicyName	This field does not apply to the switch.
CutoffThreshold	Indicates the penalty level that causes route suppression.
ReuseThreshold	Specifies the system-configured time for route reuse.
Decay	Indicates the decay rate based on the decay algorithm.
MaxHoldDown	Indicates the maximum length of time, in seconds, to suppress the route.
