BGP dampening not working

[bgandhi]

HI,

I am trying to enable BGP dampening on the router. It works with the default parameters. But does not get enabled with following parameters. Please suggest.

bgp dampening 5 750 2000 7.

Message I get is "%dampening is not enabled for base"

Regards,

Bhavesh

From your message, I'm wondering what feature set you're running?

Then the problem might be the feature isn't provided in the Base feature set.  (That might be what the message indicates.)

Hi Joseph,

The feature with default parameters work but parameter tuning is not supported? Not sure if it is due to IP Base featureset.

I'm unsure it's due to the IOS feature set, but routing features are often tied to the feature set.  That said, it's surprising it would be tied to parameter usage.

Don't recall if the platform supports evaluation licenses, but if it did, a quick test would be to enable a higher license and see if it then take the parameters.

Hi Joseph,

Sorry for reverting so late. Unfortunately missed the conversation mail. It is not actually the featureset but the way IOS behaves. It does not take 2000 as a number though mentioned as maximum supported but accepts 1999.

We managed to configure it and it is working now.

Regards,

Bhavesh.
