Once the routing policy is set up, enable damping for BGP with the set damping command.<br />

Then apply the damping policy to the EBGP group with an import statement<br />

so the damping policy is applied to all routes before they are placed into the routing<br />

table.<br />

Verify the damping configuration with the show policy damping command:<br />

aviva@Router3> show policy damping<br />

Default damping information:<br />

Halflife: 15 minutes<br />

Reuse merit: 750 Suppress/cutoff merit: 3000<br />

Maximum suppress time: 60 minutes<br />

Computed values:<br />

Merit ceiling: 12110<br />

Maximum decay: 6193<br />

Damping information for "damping-high":<br />

Halflife: 30 minutes<br />

Reuse merit: 1640 Suppress/cutoff merit: 6000<br />

Maximum suppress time: 60 minutes<br />

Computed values:<br />

Merit ceiling: 6577<br />

Maximum decay: 24933<br />

Damping information for "damping-medium":<br />

Halflife: 15 minutes<br />

Reuse merit: 1500 Suppress/cutoff merit: 6000<br />

Maximum suppress time: 45 minutes<br />

Computed values:<br />

Merit ceiling: 12049<br />

Maximum decay: 12449<br />

Damping information for "damping-normal":<br />

Halflife: 15 minutes<br />

Reuse merit: 3000 Suppress/cutoff merit: 6000<br />

Maximum suppress time: 30 minutes<br />

Computed values:<br />

Merit ceiling: 12017<br />

Maximum decay: 24963<br />

The output shows the default damping information and the three configured sets of<br />

parameters. The first portion of the output lists the default damping parameters. The<br />

Computed values fields show the merit ceiling value calculated from the damping<br />

parameters. In the default policy, you can see that the merit ceiling of 12,110 is well<br />

above the suppression threshold of 3,000.<br />

The show bgp summary command output shows whether any BGP routes have been<br />

damped:<br />
