Configuring Graceful Restart
Follow these steps to configure graceful restart on your device.
Enabling Graceful Restart
Graceful restart is disabled by default. You must configure
graceful restart at the [edit routing-options] or [edit routing-instances instance-name routing-options] hierarchy level to enable the feature globally.
For example:
routing-options {
graceful-restart;
}
You can, optionally, modify the global settings at the individual protocol level or, as of Junos OS 15.1, at the individual routing instance level.
If you configure graceful restart after a BGP or LDP session has been established, the BGP or LDP session restarts and the peers negotiate graceful restart capabilities.
To disable graceful restart, include the disable statement.
You can do this globally for all protocols by including the disable statement at the [edit routing-options] hierarchy level,
or you can disable graceful restart for a single protocol by including
the disable statement at the [edit protocols protocol graceful-restart] hierarchy level. To configure a time period
for complete restart, include the restart-duration statement.
You can specify a number between 120 and 900.
For a list of hierarchy levels at which you can include this statement, see the statement summary section for this statement.
When you include the graceful-restart statement at
the [edit routing-options] hierarchy level, graceful restart
is also enabled for aggregate and static routes.
See Also
Configuring Graceful Restart
To enable graceful restart, include the graceful-restart statement at the [edit routing-instance instance-name routing-options] or [edit routing-options] hierarchy
level. This enables graceful restart globally for all routing protocols.
You can, optionally, modify or supplement the global settings at the
individual protocol level.
When set protocols bgp group group-name allow network is configured to accept dynamic BGP sessions, unconfigured-peer-graceful-restart statement should be configured
to avoid traffic drop during graceful restart or graceful Routing
Engine switchover.
For example:
protocols {
bgp {
group ext {
graceful-restart {
restart-time 400;
}
}
}
}
routing-options {
graceful-restart;
}
Figure 1 shows a standard MPLS VPN network. Routers CE1 and CE2 are customer edge routers, PE1 and PE2 are provider edge routers, and P0 is a provider core router. Several Layer 3 VPNs are configured across this network, as well as one Layer 2 VPN. Interfaces are shown in the diagram and are not included in the configuration example that follows.
Router CE1
On Router CE1, configure the following protocols on the logical interfaces of t3-3/1/0: OSPF on unit 101, RIP on unit 102, BGP on unit 103, and IS-IS on unit 512. Also configure graceful restart, BGP, IS-IS, OSPF, and RIP on the main instance to be able to connect to the routing instances on Router PE1.

Router PE1
On Router PE1, configure graceful restart in the master instance, along with BGP, OSPF, MPLS, and LDP. Next, configure several protocol-specific instances of graceful restart. By including instances for BGP, OSPF, Layer 2 VPNs, RIP, and static routes, you can observe the wide range of options available when you implement graceful restart. Configure the following protocols in individual instances on the logical interfaces of t3-0/0/0: a static route on unit 100, OSPF on unit 101, RIP on unit 102, BGP on unit 103, and Frame Relay on unit 512 for the Layer 2 VPN instance.

Router CE2
On Router CE2, complete the Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPN configuration by mirroring the protocols already set on Routers PE2 and CE1. Specifically, configure the following on the logical interfaces of t1-0/0/3: OSPF on unit 201, RIP on unit 202, BGP on unit 203, and IS-IS on unit 612. Finally, configure graceful restart, BGP, IS-IS, OSPF, and RIP on the main instance to be able to connect to the routing instances on Router PE2.

Router PE1 Status During a Restart
Before you can verify that graceful restart is working, you must simulate a router restart. To cause the routing process to refresh and simulate a restart, use the restart routing operational mode command:
user@PE1> restart routing Routing protocol daemon started, pid 3558
The following sample output is captured during the router restart:

Configuring VPN Graceful Restart
Graceful restart allows a router whose VPN control plane is undergoing a restart to continue to forward traffic while recovering its state from neighboring routers. Without graceful restart, a control plane restart disrupts any VPN services provided by the router. Graceful restart is supported on Layer 2 VPNs, Layer 3 VPNs, virtual-router routing instances, and VPLS.
To implement graceful restart for a Layer 2 VPN or Layer 3 VPN, perform the configuration tasks described in the following sections:
Configuring Graceful Restart Globally
To enable graceful restart, include the graceful-restart statement at the [edit routing-options] hierarchy level.
To configure a global duration for the graceful restart period, include
the restart-duration statement 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 for the Routing Instance
For Layer 3 VPNs only, you must also configure graceful
restart for all routing and MPLS-related protocols within a routing
instance by including the graceful-restart statement at
the [edit routing-instances instance-name routing-options] hierarchy level. Because you can configure
multi-instance BGP and multi-instance LDP, graceful restart for a
carrier-of-carriers scenario is supported. To configure the duration
of the graceful restart period for the routing instance, include the restart-duration statement at the [edit routing-instances instance-name routing-options].
[edit]
routing-instances {
instance-name {
routing-options {
graceful-restart {
disable;
restart-duration seconds;
}
}
}
}
You can disable graceful restart for individual protocols with
the disable statement at the [edit routing-instances instance-name protocols protocol-name graceful-restart] hierarchy level.
Configuring Logical System Graceful Restart
Graceful restart for a logical system functions
much as graceful restart does in the main router. The only difference
is the location of the graceful-restart statement.
The following topics describe what to configure to implement graceful restart in a logical system:
Enabling Graceful Restart Globally
To enable graceful restart in a logical system, include
the graceful-restart statement at the [edit logical-systems logical-system-name routing-options] hierarchy level.
To configure a global duration of the graceful restart period, include
the restart-duration statement at the [edit logical-systems logical-system-name routing-options graceful-restart] hierarchy level.
[edit]
logical-systems {
logical-system-name {
routing-options {
graceful-restart {
disable;
restart-duration seconds;
}
}
}
}
To disable graceful restart globally, include the disable statement at the [edit logical-systems logical-system-name routing-options graceful-restart] hierarchy level.
Configuring Graceful Restart for a Routing Instance
For Layer 3 VPNs only, you must also configure graceful
restart globally for a routing instance inside a logical system. To
configure, include the graceful-restart statement at the [edit logical-systems logical-system-name routing-instances instance-name routing-options] hierarchy level.
Because you can configure multi-instance BGP and multi-instance LDP,
graceful restart for a carrier-of-carriers scenario is supported.
To configure the duration of the graceful restart period for the routing
instance, include the restart-duration statement at the [edit logical-systems logical-system-name routing-instances instance-name routing-options].
[edit]
logical-systems {
logical-system-name {
routing-instances {
instance-name {
routing-options {
graceful-restart {
disable;
restart-duration seconds;
}
}
}
}
}
}
To disable graceful restart for individual protocols with the disable statement at the [edit logical-systems logical-system-name routing-instances instance-name protocols protocol-name graceful-restart] hierarchy level.
Configuring Graceful Restart for QFabric Systems
When you configure graceful restart in the QFabric CLI, the QFabric system applies the configuration to the network Node group to participate in graceful restart operations with devices external to the QFabric system. Such configuration preserves routing table state and helps neighboring routing devices to resume routing operations more quickly after a system restart. This also enables the network Node group to resume routing operations rapidly if there is a restart in the QFabric system (such as a software upgrade). As a result, we recommend enabling graceful restart for routing protocols in the QFabric CLI.
The QFabric system also uses graceful restart internally within the fabric to facilitate interfabric resiliency and recovery. This internal feature is enabled by default with no configuration required.
- Enabling Graceful Restart
- Configuring Graceful Restart Options for BGP
- Configuring Graceful Restart Options for OSPF and OSPFv3
- Tracking Graceful Restart Events
Enabling Graceful Restart
By default, graceful restart is disabled. To enable graceful restart, include the graceful-restart statement at the [edit routing-instance instance-name routing-options] or [edit routing-options] hierarchy level.
For example:
routing-options {
graceful-restart;
}
To configure the duration of the graceful restart period, include the restart-duration at the [edit routing-options graceful-restart] hierarchy level.
Helper mode (the ability to assist a neighboring router attempting a graceful restart) is enabled by default when you start the routing platform, even if graceful restart is not enabled. You can disable helper mode on a per-protocol basis.
[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.
When graceful restart is enabled for all routing protocols at the [edit routing-options graceful-restart] hierarchy level, you can disable graceful restart on a per-protocol basis.
If you configure graceful restart after a BGP or LDP session has been established, the BGP or LDP session restarts and the peers negotiate graceful restart capabilities. Also, the BGP peer routing statistics are reset to zero.
Configuring Graceful Restart Options for BGP
To configure the duration of the BGP graceful restart period, include the restart-time statement at the [edit protocols bgp graceful-restart] hierarchy level. To set the length of time the router waits to receive messages from restarting neighbors before declaring them down, include the stale-routes-time statement at the [edit protocols bgp graceful-restart] hierarchy level.
[edit]
protocols {
bgp {
graceful-restart {
disable;
restart-time seconds;
stale-routes-time seconds;
}
}
}
routing-options {
graceful-restart;
}
To disable BGP graceful restart capability for all BGP sessions, include the disable statement at the [edit protocols bgp graceful-restart] hierarchy level.
To set BGP graceful restart properties or disable them for a group, include the desired statements at the [edit protocols bgp group group-name graceful-restart] hierarchy level.
To set BGP graceful restart properties or disable them for a specific neighbor in a group, include the desired statements at the [edit protocols bgp group group-name neighbor ip-address graceful-restart] hierarchy level.
Configuring graceful restart for BGP resets the BGP peer routing statistics to zero. Also, existing BGP sessions restart, and the peers negotiate graceful restart capabilities.
Configuring Graceful Restart Options for OSPF and OSPFv3
To configure the duration of the OSPF/OSPFv3 graceful restart period, include the restart-duration statement at the [edit protocols (ospf | ospf3) graceful-restart] hierarchy level. To specify the length of time for which the router notifies helper routers that it has completed graceful restart, include the notify-duration at the [edit protocols (ospf | ospf3) graceful-restart] hierarchy level. Strict OSPF link-state advertisement (LSA) checking results in the termination of graceful restart by a helping router. To disable strict LSA checking, include the no-strict-lsa-checking statement at the [edit protocols (ospf | ospf3) graceful-restart] hierarchy level.
[edit]
protocols {
ospf | ospfv3{
graceful-restart {
disable;
helper-disable
no-strict-lsa-checking;
notify-duration seconds;
restart-duration seconds;
}
}
}
routing-options {
graceful-restart;

To disable OSPF/OSPFv3 graceful restart, include the disable statement at the [edit protocols (ospf | ospf3) graceful-restart] hierarchy level.
Starting with Release 11.3, the Junos OS supports both the standard (based on RFC 3623, Graceful OSPF Restart) and the restart signaling-based (as specified in RFC 4811, RFC 4812, and RFC 4813) helper modes for OSPF version 2 graceful restart configurations. Both the standard and restart signaling-based helper modes are enabled by default. To disable the helper mode for OSPF version 2 graceful restart configurations, include the helper-disable <both | restart-signaling | standard> statement at the [edit protocols ospf graceful-restart] hierarchy level. Note that the last committed statement always takes precedence over the previous one.
[edit protocols ospf]
graceful-restart {
helper-disable <both | restart-signaling | standard>
}
To reenable the helper mode, delete the helper-disable statement from the configuration by using the delete protocols ospf graceful-restarthelper-disable <restart-signaling | standard | both> command. In this case also, the last executed command takes precedence over the previous ones.
Restart signaling-based helper mode is not supported for OSPFv3 configurations. To disable helper mode for OSPFv3 configurations, include the helper-disable statement at the [edit protocols ospfv3 graceful-restart] hierarchy level.
You can also track graceful restart events with the traceoptions statement at the [edit protocols (ospf | ospf3)] hierarchy level. For more information, see Tracking Graceful Restart Events.
If you configure BFD and graceful restart for OSPF, graceful restart might not work as expected.
Tracking Graceful Restart Events
To track the progress of a graceful restart event, you can configure graceful restart trace options flags for IS-IS and OSPF/OSPFv3. To configure graceful restart trace options, include the graceful-restart statement at the [edit protocols protocol traceoptions flag] hierarchy level:
[edit protocols]
isis {
traceoptions {
flag graceful-restart;
}
}
(ospf | ospf3) {
traceoptions {
flag graceful-restart;
}
}
Example: Managing Helper Modes for OSPF Graceful Restart
Configuration
Step-by-Step Procedure
Both standard and restart signaling-based helper modes are enabled by default, irrespective of the graceful-restart configuration status on the routing device. Junos OS allows you to disable or enable the helper modes based on your requirements.
To configure the helper mode options for graceful restart:
To enable graceful restart, add the
graceful-restartstatement at the[edit routing-options]hierarchy level.[edit routing-options] user@host# set graceful-restart
The helper modes, both standard and restart signaling-based, are enabled by default.
To disable one or both of the helper modes, add the
helper-disable <both | restart-signaling | standard>statement at the[edit protocols ospf graceful-restart]hierarchy level.To disable both standard and restart signaling-based helper modes:
[edit protocols ospf graceful-restart] user@host# set helper-disable both
To disable only the restart signaling-based helper mode:
[edit protocols ospf graceful-restart] user@host# set helper-disable restart-signaling
To disable only the standard helper mode:
[edit protocols ospf graceful-restart] user@host# set helper-disable standard
Note:You must commit the configuration before the change takes effect.
The last committed statement always takes precedence over the previous one.
To enable one or both of the helper modes when the helper modes are disabled, delete the
helper-disable <both | restart-signaling | standard>statement from the[edit protocols ospf graceful-restart]hierarchy level.To enable both standard and restart signaling-based helper modes:
[edit protocols ospf graceful-restart] user@host# delete helper-disable
To enable the restart signaling-based helper mode:
[edit protocols ospf graceful-restart] user@host# delete helper-disable restart-signaling
To enable the standard helper mode:
[edit protocols ospf graceful-restart] user@host# delete helper-disable standard
Note:You must commit the configuration before the change takes effect.
The last committed statement always takes precedence over the previous one.
Requirements
M Series or T Series routers running Junos OS Release 11.4 or later and EX Series switches.
Overview
Junos OS Release 11.4 extends OSPF graceful restart support to include restart signaling-based helper mode. Both standard (RFC 3623-based) and restart signaling-based helper modes are enabled by default, irrespective of the graceful-restart configuration status on the routing device.
Junos OS, however, enables you to choose between the helper
modes with the helper-disable <standard | restart-signaling
| both> statement.
Verification
Confirm that the configuration is working properly.
Verifying OSPF Graceful Restart and Helper Mode Configuration
Purpose
Verify the OSPF graceful restart and helper mode configuration on a router.
Action
Enter the
run show ospf overviewcommand from configuration mode.user@host# run show ospf overview ~ ~ ~ Restart: Enabled Restart duration: 180 sec Restart grace period: 210 sec Graceful restart helper mode: Enabled Restart-signaling helper mode: Enabled ~ ~ ~
Meaning
The output shows that graceful restart and both of the helper modes are enabled.
Tracing Restart Signaling-Based Helper Mode Events for OSPF Graceful Restart
Junos OS provides a tracing option to log restart signaling-based
helper mode events for OSPF graceful restart. To enable tracing for
restart signaling-based helper mode events, include the traceoptions
flag restart-signaling statement at the [edit protocols
ospf] hierarchy level.
To enable tracing for restart signaling-based events:
The logs are saved to the ospf-log file in the /var/log folder.
Viewing the Log File
To view the restart signaling-based events from the log file, type:
user@host> file show /var/log/ospf-log | match “restart signaling” Jun 25 14:44:08.890216 OSPF Restart Signaling: Start helper mode for nbr ip 14.19.3.2 id 10.10.10.1 Jun 25 14:44:11.358636 OSPF restart signaling: Received DBD with R bit set from nbr ip=14.19.3.2 id=10.10.10.1.

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 192.0.2.5 Oct 8 05:20:14 Received multiple grace lsa from 192.0.2.5
Verifying CCC and TCC Graceful Restart
