Verifying Graceful Restart Operation

This topic contains the following sections:

Graceful Restart Operational Mode Commands

To verify proper operation of graceful restart, use the following commands:

show bgp neighbor (for BGP graceful restart)
show log (for IS-IS and OSPF/OSPFv3 graceful restart)
show rsvp neighbor detail (for RSVP graceful restart—helper router)
show rsvp version (for RSVP graceful restart—restarting router)
show ldp session detail (for LDP graceful restart)
show connections (for CCC and TCC graceful restart)
show route instance detail (for Layer 3 VPN graceful restart and for any protocols using graceful restart in a routing instance)
show route protocol l2vpn (for Layer 2 VPN graceful restart)

For more information about these commands and a description of their output fields, see the Junos Routing Protocols and Policies Command Reference.

Verifying BGP Graceful Restart

To view graceful restart information for BGP sessions, use the show bgp neighbor command:

user@PE1> show bgp neighbor 192.255.10.1

Peer: 192.255.10.1+179 AS 64595 Local: 192.255.5.1+1106 AS 64595

Verifying IS-IS and OSPF Graceful Restart

To view graceful restart information for IS-IS and OSPF, configure traceoptions (see Tracking Graceful Restart Events).

Here is the output of a traceoptions log from an OSPF restarting router:

Oct  8 05:20:12 Restart mode - sending grace lsas
Oct  8 05:20:12 Restart mode - estimated restart duration timer triggered
Oct  8 05:20:13 Restart mode - Sending more grace lsas

Here is the output of a traceoptions log from an OSPF helper router:

Oct  8 05:20:14 Helper mode for neighbor 192.255.5.1
Oct  8 05:20:14  Received multiple grace lsa from 192.255.5.1

Verifying CCC and TCC Graceful Restart

To view graceful restart information for CCC and TCC connections, use the show connections command. The following example assumes four remote interface CCC connections between CE1 and CE2:

user@PE1> show connections

CCC and TCC connections [Link Monitoring On]
  Legend for status (St)              Legend for connection types
  UN -- uninitialized                 if-sw:  interface switching
  NP -- not present                   rmt-if: remote interface switching
  WE -- wrong encapsulation           lsp-sw: LSP switching
  DS -- disabled
  Dn -- down                          Legend for circuit types
  -> -- only outbound conn is up      intf -- interface
  <- -- only inbound  conn is up      tlsp -- transmit LSP
  Up -- operational                   rlsp -- receive LSP
  RmtDn -- remote CCC down
  Restart -- restarting
