Description: This attribute specifies whether damping is applied. Damping refers to the damping of incoming RIP and SAP requests. It handles cases where a rogue client or server is making an extraodinary number of requests. With damping set to disabled, the switch will reply to all requests with no check for rogue nodes.With damping set to enabled, the switch will not reply to a request if the same node made more than the allowable number of requests within 10 seconds. The maximum number of requests to damp at is specified by the following provisionable attributes: ripMaxDampedGeneralRequest, ripMaxDampedSpecificRequests, sapMaxDampedGeneralRequests, sapMaxDampedSpecificRequests.

What is mscVrIpxDamping?

Enables or disables rate-limiting ('damping') of incoming RIP and SAP requests to protect the switch from a rogue client or server flooding it with requests. When enabled (the default), a node exceeding the configured request thresholds within 10 seconds is ignored.
