Configuring route flap dampening
A “route flap” is the change in a route state, from up to down or down to up. When a route state
changes, the state change causes changes in the route tables of the routers that support the route.
Frequent changes in a route state can cause Internet instability and add processing overhead to
the routers that support the route.
Route flap dampening is a mechanism that reduces the impact of route flap by changing a BGP4
router response to route state changes. When route flap dampening is configured, the Layer 3
Switch suppresses unstable routes until the route state changes reduce enough to meet an
acceptable degree of stability. The Brocade implementation of route flap dampening is based on
RFC 2439.
Route flap dampening is disabled by default. You can enable the feature globally or on an individual
route basis using route maps.
NOTE
The Layer 3 Switch applies route flap dampening only to routes learned from EBGP neighbors.
