Usage With each flap, Dell Networking OS penalizes the interface by assigning a penalty
Information (1024) that decays exponentially depending on the configured half-life. After the
accumulated penalty exceeds the suppress threshold value, the interface moves to
the Error-Disabled state. This interface state is deemed as "down" by all static/
dynamic Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocols. The penalty is exponentially decayed based
on the half-life timer. After the penalty decays below the reuse threshold, the
interface enables. The configured parameters are as follows:
