Chapter 29 Configuring IP Unicast Routing
Configuring BGP
To disable flap dampening, use the no bgp dampening router configuration command without
keywords. To set dampening factors back to the default values, use the no bgp dampening router
configuration command with values.
Monitoring and Maintaining BGP
You can remove all contents of a particular cache, table, or database. This might be necessary when the
contents of the particular structure have become or are suspected to be invalid.
You can display specific statistics, such as the contents of BGP routing tables, caches, and databases.
You can use the information to get resource utilization and solve network problems. You can also display
information about node reachability and discover the routing path your device’s packets are taking
through the network.
Table 29-8
lists the privileged EXEC commands for clearing and displaying BGP. For explanations of
the display fields, see the Cisco IOS IP Command Reference, Volume 2 of 3: Routing Protocols, Release
12.2.
Step 8
clear ip bgp flap-statistics [{regexp regexp} |
{filter-list list} | {address mask [longer-prefix]}
(Optional) Clear BGP flap statistics to make it less likely that a
route will be dampened.
Step 9
clear ip bgp dampening
(Optional) Clear route dampening information, and unsuppress
the suppressed routes.
Step 10
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
