Configuring BGP Graceful Restart
Using BGP graceful restart, the data forwarding plane of the device can continue to
process and forward packets even if the control plane, which is responsible for
determining best paths, fails. The bgp graceful-restart (BGP and BGP4+) command on
page 3.32 sets the maximum time that a graceful-restart neighbor waits to come back up
after a restart. This value is applied to all neighbors unless you explicitly override it by
configuring the corresponding value on the neighbor.
This example shows configuring BGP graceful restart.
