ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
1726
configure bgp restart
configure bgp restart [none | planned | unplanned | both | aware-only]
Description
Configures the router as a graceful BGP restart router.
Syntax Description
Default
The default is none; graceful restart is disabled.
Usage Guidelines
This command configures the router as a graceful BGP router. You can decide to configure a router to
enter graceful restart for only planned restarts, for only unplanned restarts, or for both. Also, you can
decide to configure a router to be a receiver only (which helps a restarting BGP router to perform the
graceful restart process), and not to do graceful restarts itself.
This command cannot be used while BGP is enabled globally on the switch.
Example
The following command configures a router to perform graceful BGP restarts only for planned restarts:
configure bgp restart planned
