Configuring Graceful Restart for MPLS-Related Protocols

This section contains the following topics:

To configure graceful restart globally for all MPLS-related protocols, include the graceful-restart statement at the [edit routing-options] hierarchy level. To configure the duration of the graceful restart period, include the restart-duration at the [edit routing-options graceful-restart] hierarchy level:

[edit]routing-options {graceful-restart {disable;restart-duration seconds;}}

To disable graceful restart globally, include the disable statement at the [edit routing-options graceful-restart] hierarchy level.

Configuring Graceful Restart Options for RSVP, CCC, and TCC

Because CCC and TCC rely on RSVP, you must modify these three protocols as a single group.

To configure how long the router retains the state of its RSVP neighbors while they undergo a graceful restart, include the maximum-helper-recovery-time statement at the [edit protocols rsvp graceful-restart] hierarchy level. This value is applied to all neighboring routers, so it should be based on the time required by the slowest RSVP neighbor to recover.

To configure the delay between when the router discovers that a neighboring router has gone down and when it declares the neighbor down, include the maximum-helper-restart-time statement at the [edit protocols rsvp graceful-restart] hierarchy level. This value is applied to all neighboring routers, so it should be based on the time required by the slowest RSVP neighbor to restart.

To disable RSVP, CCC, and TCC graceful restart, include the disable statement at the [edit protocols rsvp graceful-restart] hierarchy level. To disable RSVP, CCC, and TCC helper capability, include the helper-disable statement at the [edit protocols rsvp graceful-restart] hierarchy level.

Configuring Graceful Restart Options for LDP

When configuring graceful restart for LDP, you can include the following optional statements at the [edit protocols ldp graceful-restart] hierarchy level:

The statements have the following effects on the graceful restart process:
