Parameter Description
Client to Client Reflection
This parameter configures the Route Reflector to support route reflection
to client peers.
By default, the Route Reflector will reflect routes learnt from a client peer to
all other client peers. If required, the administrator can disable this feature
by disabling client-to-client reflection.
If disabled, then the Route Reflector will not advertise routes learnt from a
client peer to other client peers. This occurs when all peers within a cluster
are fully-meshed and the client peer itself is able to advertise routes to
other clients of the route-reflector.
Dampening Half Life Time
This parameter specifies the time (in seconds) after which a penalty is
decreased by half. Once a route has been assigned a penalty, the penalty
is decreased by half after the half-life time.
Dampening Reuse Value
If the penalty associated with a suppressed route falls below this value, the
route is re-used.
Dampening Suppress
Value
A route is suppressed when the penalty associated with the route exceeds
this value.
