Enabling Graceful Restart
Graceful restart is disabled by default. You must configure graceful restart at the [edit routing-options] hierarchy level to enable the feature.
For graceful restart to function properly, graceful restart must be enabled on the [edit routing-instance instance-name routing-options] or [edit routing-options] hierarchy level.
For example:
 | Note: If you configure graceful restart after a BGP or LDP session has been established, the BGP or LDP session restarts and the peers negotiate graceful restart capabilities. |
To disable graceful restart, include the disable statement. To configure a time period for complete restart, include the restart-duration statement. You can specify a number between 120 and 900.
For a list of hierarchy levels at which you can include this statement, see the statement summary section for this statement.
When you include the graceful-restart statement at the [edit routing-options] hierarchy level, graceful restart is also enabled for aggregate and static routes.
