Configuring route flap dampening

The regular-expression parameter is a regular expression. The regular
expressions are the same ones supported for BGP4 AS-path filters. Refer to

“Using regular

expressions”

on page 705.

The

parameter specifies a particular route. If you also use the optional
longer-prefixes parameter, then all statistics for routes that match the specified route or have a
longer prefix than the specified route are displayed. For example, if you specify 10.157.0.0 longer,
then all routes with the prefix 10.157. or that have a longer prefix (such as 10.157.22.) are
displayed.

The neighbor parameter displays route flap dampening statistics only for routes learned
from the specified neighbor. You also can display route flap statistics for routes learned from a
neighbor by entering the following command: show ip bgp neighbor flap-statistics.

This display shows the following information.

You also can display all the dampened routes by entering the following command.

show ip bgp dampened-paths

Clearing route flap dampening statistics

To clear route flap dampening statistics, use the following CLI method.

NOTE

Clearing the dampening statistics for a route does not change the dampening status of the route.

To clear all the route dampening statistics, enter the following command at any level of the CLI.

TurboIron#clear ip bgp flap-statistics

Syntax: clear ip bgp flap-statistics [regular-expression |

| neighbor ]

TABLE 104

Route flap dampening statistics

This field...

Displays...

Total number of flapping routes

Total number of routes in the Layer 3 Switch BGP4 route table that have
changed state and thus have been marked as flapping routes.

Status code

Indicates the dampening status of the route, which can be one of the following:

> – This is the best route among those in the BGP4 route table to the route
destination.

d – This route is currently dampened, and thus unusable.

h – The route has a history of flapping and is unreachable now.

* – The route has a history of flapping but is currently usable.

Network

The destination network of the route.

From

The neighbor that sent the route to the Layer 3 Switch.

Flaps

The number of flaps (state changes) the route has experienced.

Since

The amount of time since the first flap of this route.

Reuse

The amount of time remaining until this route will be un-suppressed and thus
be usable again.

Path

Shows the AS-path information for the route.
