<restart_time>
|
<stalepath_time>
]
no bgp graceful-restart [
<restart_time>
|
<stalepath_time>
]
Default

restart-time
is 120 seconds and the default
stalepath-time
is 360 seconds.
Mode

Usage
The restart-time parameter is used for setting the maximum time that a graceful-restart
neighbor waits to come back up after a restart. This value is applied to all neighbors unless you
explicitly override it by configuring the corresponding value on the neighbor.
The stalepath-time parameter is used to set the maximum time to preserve stale paths from a
gracefully restarted neighbor. All stalepaths, unless reinstated by the neighbor after a re-
establishment, will be deleted at the expiration of this timer.
