Default: 15 minutes
 | Note: For the half-life, configure a value that is less than the max-suppress. If you do not, the configuration is rejected. |
max-suppress minutes—Maximum hold-down time. minutes is the maximum time that a route can be suppressed no matter how unstable it has been.
Range: 1 through 720
Default: 60 minutes
| Note: For the max-suppress, configure a value that is greater than the half-life. If you do not, the configuration is rejected. |
