Graceful restart is disabled by default. You can globally enable graceful restart for all routing protocols at the [edit routing-options] or [edit logical-routers logical-router-name routing-options] hierarchy levels.
To configure graceful restart specifically for BGP, include the graceful-restart statement:
graceful-restart {
restart-time;
stale-routes-time;
}
For a list of hierarchy levels at which you can configure this statements see the statement summary section for this statement.
 |
NOTE: Configuring graceful restart for BGP resets the BGP peer routing statistics to zero. |
To disable graceful restart for BGP, specify the disable statement. To configure a time period to complete restart, specify the restart-time statement. To configure a time period over which to keep stale routes during a restart, specify the stale-routes-time statement.
