routing protocols and routing tables in the network.
Works for
Connected routes
Static routes
RIP, OSPF, EIGRP, IS-IS, and BGP
HSRP

Without arguments : default configuration parameters.
The following example configures interface dampening on Ethernet
interface 0/0 and sets the half life to 30 seconds, the reuse threshold to
1500, the suppress threshold to 10000; and the maximum suppress time to 120
seconds:
interface Ethernet 0/0
dampening 30 1500 10000 120
