Task 1
Configure R3 to use BGP dampening according to the following:
  • Penalty should be reduced by half after 10 minutes (default=15).
  • The dampened route must be reused when it reaches value of 700. (default=750).
  • Route should not be used when it reaches 2000 points (default=2000).
  • The routes that experience flaps should not be suppressed for more than 40. minutes (default=4 x half-time).
