damp-interface enable (interface view)

Function

The damp-interface enable command enables status flapping suppression on a physical interface.

The undo damp-interface enable command disables the suppression function.

By default, status flapping suppression on an interface is the same as the global configuration.

Format

damp-interface enable

undo damp-interface enable

None

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

Intermittent disconnection of an optical fiber connected to a physical interface causes the interface status to alternate frequently between Up and Down. The damp-interface function suppresses a flapping interface at the physical layer, which ensures stability of the entire link layer and network layer. To enable status flapping suppression, run the damp-interface enable command in the user view.

Precautions

After the damp-interface enable command is run, configuration of the suppression parameters in the interface view preferentially takes effect over that in the system view.

The damp-interface enable command is mutually exclusive with the damp-interface ignore-global command.

The actual status of an interface alternates between Up and Down, which is not reported to the upper-layers. Therefore, the upper-layers sense that the interface status is Down during flapping.

You can query whether an interface enters or exits the suppression state through the hwIfDampSuppress and hwIfDampResume alarms, respectively.
