restart bgp graceful (BGP)
Use this command to force the switch to perform a graceful BGP restart.
Syntax restart bgp graceful
Mode
Privileged Exec
Usage Before using this command, BGP graceful-restart capabilities must be enabled within the
router BGP (bgp graceful-restart (BGP and BGP4+) command on page 3.32), and each
neighbor configured on the device should be set to advertise its graceful-restart capability
(bgp graceful-restart graceful-reset (BGP and BGP4+) command on page 3.33). The
neighbor devices also need to have BGP graceful-restart capabilities enabled (bgp
graceful-restart (BGP and BGP4+) command on page 3.32).
This command stops the whole BGP process and makes the switch retain the BGP routes
and mark them as stale. Receiving BGP speakers, retain and mark as stale all BGP routes
received from the restarting speaker for all the address families received in the Graceful
Restart Capability exchange.
When a restart bgp graceful command is issued, the BGP configuration is reloaded from
the last saved configuration. Ensure you first issue a copy running-config startup-config.
