You can enable gracefulrestart by router and/or by peer or peer group.NOTE: By default, BGP graceful restart is disabled.The default role for BGP is as a receiving or restarting peer. If you enable BGP, when a peer that supports graceful restart resumesoperating, Dell Networking OS performs the following tasks:• Continues saving routes received from the peer if the peer advertised it had graceful restart capability. Continues forwarding traffic tothe peer.• Flags routes from the peer as Stale and sets a timer to delete them if the peer does not perform a graceful restart.• Deletes all routes from the peer if forwarding state information is not saved.• Speeds convergence by advertising a special update packet known as an end-of-RIB marker. This marker indicates the peer has beenupdated with all routes in the local RIB.If you configure your system to do so, Dell Networking OS can perform the following actions during a hot failover:• Save all forwarding information base (FIB) and content addressable memory (CAM) entries on the line card and continue forwardingtraffic while the secondary route processor module (RPM) is coming online.• Advertise to all BGP neighbors and peer-groups that the forwarding state of all routes has been saved. This prompts all peers tocontinue saving the routes they receive and to continue forwarding traffic.• Bring the secondary RPM online as the primary and re-open sessions with all peers operating in No Shutdown mode.• Defer best path selection for a certain amount of time. This helps optimize path selection and results in fewer updates being sent out.To enable graceful restart, use the configure router bgp graceful-restart command.• Enable graceful restart for the BGP node.CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP modebgp graceful-restart• Set maximum restart time for all peers.CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP modebgp graceful-restart [restart-time time-in-seconds]Border Gateway Protocol IPv4 (BGPv4) 199
