Example
In the following example, “From” indicates the peer that advertised this path, while
“Reuse” is the time after which the path will be made available.

In this example, “Duration” indicates the time since the first flap occurred.

Table 188: show ip bgp dampening parameters- display description
Field Description
Reachability half-
life time The time after which a penalty is reduced. The penalty value is reduced to half of
the previous value after the half-life time expires.
Reuse penalty The point to which the penalty for a flapping route must fall before a route is
unsuppressed.
