Examples
#show ip bgp dampening parameters
 dampening 5 750 2000 60 15
 Dampening Control Block(s):
  Reachability Half-Life time    : 5 min
  Reuse penalty                  : 750
  Suppress penalty               : 2000
  Max suppress time              : 60 min
  Un-reachability Half-Life time : 15 min
  Max penalty (ceil)             : 11999
  Min penalty (floor)            : 375

Table 7-12: show ip bgp dampening parameters output details
| Field | Description | 
|---|
| Dampening Control Block(s) | Flap damping reduces the number of update messages by marking routes as ineligible for selection as the active or preferable route. | 
| Reachability Half-Life time | Number of minutes after which an arbitrary value is halved if a route stays stable. | 
| Reuse penalty | Reuse threshold—Arbitrary value below which a suppressed route can be used again. | 
| Suppress penalty | Cutoff (suppression) threshold—Arbitrary value above which a route can no longer be used or included in advertisements. | 
| Max suppress time | Maximum hold-down time for a route, in minutes. | 
| Un-reachability Half-Life time | Number of minutes after which an arbitrary value is not halved if a route stays stable. | 
| Max penalty (ceil) | Maximum penalty corresponds to the time it would take max-suppress to decay and reach the reuse level (ceil). | 
| Min penalty (floor) | Maximum penalty corresponds to the time it would take max-suppress to decay and reach the reuse level (floor). |
