Configuring OSPF NSR
Nonstop routing (NSR) backs up OSPF link state information from the active process to the standby process. After an active/standby switchover, NSR can complete link state recovery and route regeneration without tearing down adjacencies or impacting forwarding services.
NSR does not require the cooperation of neighboring devices to recover routing information, and it is typically used more often than GR.

To enable OSPF NSR:
Step | Command | Remarks |
---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Enter OSPF view. | ospf [ process-id | router-id router-id | vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ] * | N/A |
3. Enable OSPF NSR. | non-stop-routing | By default, OSPF NSR is disabled. This command takes effect only for the current process. As a best practice, enable OSPF NSR for each process if multiple OSPF processes exist. |
