Usage
Information
By default, OSPFv3 graceful restart is disabled and functions only in a helper role to
help restarting neighbor routers in their graceful restarts when it receives a Grace
LSA.
To enable OSPFv3 graceful restart, enter the ipv6 router ospf command to enter
OSPFv3 configuration mode and then configure a grace period using the graceful-
restart grace-period command. The grace period is the length of time that OSPFv3
neighbors continue to advertise the restarting router as though it is fully adjacent.
When graceful restart is enabled (restarting role), an OSPFv3 restarting expects its
OSPFv3 neighbors to help when it restarts by not advertising the broken link.
When you enable the helper-reject role on an interface with the ipv6 ospf graceful-
restart helper-reject command, you reconfigure OSPFv3 graceful restart to
