[j-nsp] Juniper MX Physical Interface Damping

Hello,

I'm currently looking at physical interface damping on Juniper MX:

https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/task/configuration/interfaces-damping-longer-physical-interface-transitions.html


Fun Fact: Nowhere on this site is it mentioned that the penalty added
per interface down event is 1000.

Currently testing this:

set interfaces xe-5/2/1 damping half-life 30
set interfaces xe-5/2/1 damping max-suppress 20000
set interfaces xe-5/2/1 damping reuse 1
set interfaces xe-5/2/1 damping suppress 500
set interfaces xe-5/2/1 damping enable

So this seems to be working but I'm basically missing two things:

1) Where can I see the *current* penalty on the interface? "show
   interface extensive" only lists the configured parameters and the
   state (suppressed/unsuppressed) of the interface:

   Damping        : half-life: 30 sec, max-suppress: 20000 sec, reuse: 1, suppress: 500, state: suppressed

2) Is there a way to manually clear the interface / reset the penalty
   so that it comes up immediately?

Has anyone used this and can answer these? Is this even possible? Any
other experience you want to share regarding this feature?

Sebastian
