# neighbor graceful-restart

#### Syntax

[ no | default ] neighbor { ipAddress | ipv6Address | peerGroupName } graceful-restart

#### Release Information

Command introduced before JUNOSe Release 7.1.0.
ipv6Address variable added in JUNOSe Release 8.0.0.

#### Description

Enables the BGP graceful restart capability for the peer or peer group, which enables BGP to maintain its forwarding state during a peer restart, avoiding network-wide route flaps and interruptions in traffic forwarding. Graceful restart is enabled by default. The no version disables the graceful restart capability. The default version removes the explicit configuration from the peer or peer group and reestablishes inheritance of the feature configuration.

#### Options

- ipAddress—IP address of BGP neighbor
- ipv6Address—IPv6 address of BGP neighbor
- peerGroupName—Name of a BGP peer group. If you specify a BGP peer group by using the peerGroupName argument, all the members of the peer group inherit the characteristic configured with this command, unless it is overridden for a specific peer.

#### Mode

Address Family Configuration, Router Configuration
