# bgp graceful-restart

#### Syntax

[ no | default ] bgp graceful-restart

#### Release Information

Command introduced before JUNOSe Release 7.1.0.

#### Description

Enables the BGP graceful restart capability globally, 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 default version restores the default condition, wherein graceful restart is enabled. The no version disables the graceful restart capability.

| Note: The E Series router currently supports graceful restart only as a receiving peer, not as a restarting peer.
