Example: Configuring BGP Route Flap Damping Parameters
date_range
24-Nov-23
This example shows how to configure damping parameters.
Overview
This example has three routing devices. Device R2 has external BGP (EBGP) connections with Device R1 and Device R3.
Device R1 and Device R3 have some static routes configured for testing purposes, and these static routes are advertised through BGP to Device R2.
Device R2 damps routes received from Device R1 and Device R3 according to these criteria:
Damp all prefixes with a mask length equal to or greater than 17 more aggressively than routes with a mask length between 9 and 16.
Damp routes with a mask length between 0 and 8, inclusive, less than routes with a mask length greater than 8.
Do not damp the 10.128.0.0/9 prefix at all.
The routing policy is evaluated when routes are being exported from the routing table into the forwarding table. Only the active routes are exported from the routing table.
Figure 1 shows the sample network.
Figure 1: BGP Flap Damping Topology
CLI Quick Configuration shows the configuration for all of the devices in Figure 1.
The section #configuration649__bgp-damp-policy-st describes the steps on Device R2.

Configure the autonomous system (AS) number.
content_copy zoom_out_map[edit routing-options] user@R2# set autonomous-system 200
Results
From configuration mode, confirm your configuration
by issuing the show interfaces, show protocols, show policy-options, and show routing-options commands. If the output does not display the intended configuration,
repeat the instructions in this example to correct the configuration.

Causing Some Routes to Flap
Purpose
To verify your route flap damping policy, some routes must flap. Having a live Internet feed almost guarantees that a certain number of route flaps will be present. If you have control over a remote system that is advertising the routes, you can modify the advertising router's policy to effect the advertisement and withdrawal of all routes or of a given prefix. In a test environment, you can cause routes to flap by clearing the BGP neighbors or by restarting the routing process on the BGP neighbors, as shown here.
Action
From operational mode on Device R1 and Device R3, enter
the restart routing command.
CAUTION:
Use this command cautiously in a production network.
content_copy zoom_out_map
user@R1> restart routing R1 started, pid 10474
content_copy zoom_out_map
user@R3> restart routing R3 started, pid 10478
Meaning
On Device R2, all of the routes from the neighbors are withdrawn and re-advertised.
Checking the Route Flaps
Purpose
View the number of neighbor flaps.
Action
From operational mode, enter the show bgp summary command.
content_copy zoom_out_map
user@R2> show bgp summary

This output was captured after the routing process was restarted on Device R2’s neighbors four times.
Verifying Route Flap Damping
Purpose
Verify that routes are being hidden due to damping.
Action
From operational mode, enter the show route damping
suppressed command.
content_copy zoom_out_map

Meaning
The output shows some routing instability. Eleven routes are hidden due to damping.
Displaying the Details of a Damped Route
Purpose
Display the details of damped routes.
Action
From operational mode, enter the show route damping

This output indicates that the displayed route has a mask length that is equal to or greater than /17, and confirms that it has been correctly mapped to the aggressive damping profile. You can also see the route’s current (and last) figure of merit value, and when the route is expected to become active if it remains stable.
Verifying That Default Damping Parameters Are in Effect

Locating a damped route with a /16 mask confirms that the default parameters are in effect.

Meaning
Routes with a /16 mask are not impacted by the custom damping rules. Therefore, the default damping rules are in effect.
To repeat, the custom rules are as follows:
Damp all prefixes with a mask length equal to or greater than 17 more aggressively than routes with a mask length between 9 and 16.
Damp routes with a mask length between 0 and 8, inclusive, less than routes with a mask length greater than 8.
Do not damp the 10.128.0.0/9 prefix at all.
Filtering the Damping Information
Purpose
Use OR groupings or cascaded piping to simplify the determination of what damping profile is being used for routes with a given mask length.
Action
From operational mode, enter the show route damping
suppressed command.

Meaning
When you are satisfied that your EBGP routes are correctly
associated with a damping profile, you can issue the clear bgp
damping operational mode command to restore an active status
to your damped routes, which will return your connectivity to normal
operation.
