OSPF GR configuration example

Network requirements

As shown in Figure 29:

Switch A, Switch B, and Switch C that belong to the same AS and the same OSPF routing domain are GR capable.
Switch A acts as the non-IETF GR restarter. Switch B and Switch C are the GR helpers, and synchronize their LSDBs with Switch A through OOB communication of GR.

Configuration procedure

Configure IP addresses for interfaces. (Details not shown.)

Enable OSPF:

# Configure Switch A.

SwitchA> system-view
[SwitchA] router id 1.1.1.1
[SwitchA] ospf 100
[SwitchA-ospf-100] area 0
[SwitchA-ospf-100-area-0.0.0.0] network 192.1.1.0 0.0.0.255
[SwitchA-ospf-100-area-0.0.0.0] quit

# Configure Switch B.

<SwitchB> system-view
[SwitchB] router id 2.2.2.2
[SwitchB] ospf 100
[SwitchB-ospf-100] area 0
[SwitchB-ospf-100-area-0.0.0.0] network 192.1.1.0 0.0.0.255
[SwitchB-ospf-100-area-0.0.0.0] quit

# Configure Switch C.

<SwitchC> system-view
[SwitchC] router id 3.3.3.3
[SwitchC] ospf 100
[SwitchC-ospf-100] area 0
[SwitchC-ospf-100-area-0.0.0.0] network 192.1.1.0 0.0.0.255
[SwitchC-ospf-100-area-0.0.0.0] quit

Configure OSPF GR:
# Configure Switch A as the non-IETF OSPF GR restarter: enable the link-local signaling capability, the out-of-band re-synchronization capability, and non-IETF GR capability for OSPF process 100.
```
[SwitchA-ospf-100] enable link-local-signaling
[SwitchA-ospf-100] enable out-of-band-resynchronization
[SwitchA-ospf-100] graceful-restart
[SwitchA-ospf-100] return
```
# Configure Switch B as the GR helper: enable the link-local signaling capability and the out-of-band re-synchronization capability for OSPF process 100.
```
[SwitchB-ospf-100] enable link-local-signaling
[SwitchB-ospf-100] enable out-of-band-resynchronization
```
# Configure Switch C as the GR helper: enable the link-local signaling capability and the out-of-band re-synchronization capability for OSPF process 100.
```
[SwitchC-ospf-100] enable link-local-signaling
[SwitchC-ospf-100] enable out-of-band-resynchronization
```

Verifying the configuration

# Enable OSPF GR event debugging and restart the OSPF process by using GR on Switch A.

<SwitchA> terminal logging level 7
<SwitchA> reset ospf 100 process graceful-restart
Reset OSPF process? [Y/N]:y
