• Bring the secondary RPM online as the primary and re-open sessions with all peers operating in No
Shutdown mode.
• Defer best path selection for a certain amount of time. This helps optimize path selection and results in
fewer updates being sent out.
To enable graceful restart, use the
configure router bgp graceful-restart
command.
• Enable graceful restart for the BGP node.
CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode
bgp graceful-restart
• Set maximum restart time for all peers.
CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode
bgp graceful-restart [restart-time
time-in-seconds
]
The default is
120 seconds
.
• Set maximum time to retain the restarting peer’s stale paths.
CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode
bgp graceful-restart [stale-path-time
time-in-seconds
]
The default is
360 seconds
.
• Local router supports graceful restart as a receiver only.
CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode
bgp graceful-restart [role receiver-only]
Enabling Neighbor Graceful Restart
BGP graceful restart is active only when the neighbor becomes established. Otherwise, it is disabled.
Graceful-restart applies to all neighbors with established adjacency.
With the graceful restart feature, Dell Networking OS enables the receiving/restarting mode by default. In
Receiver-Only mode, graceful restart saves the advertised routes of peers that support this capability when
they restart. This option provides support for remote peers for their graceful restart without supporting the
feature itself.
You can implement BGP graceful restart either by neighbor or by BGP peer-group. For more information,
refer to the
Dell Networking OS Command Line Interface Reference Guide
.
• Add graceful restart to a BGP neighbor or peer-group.
CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode
neighbor {
ip-address
|
peer-group-name
} graceful-restart
• Set the maximum restart time for the neighbor or peer-group.
CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode
neighbor {
ip-address
|
peer-group-name
} graceful-restart [restart-time
time-in-
seconds
]
The default is
120 seconds
.
