Usage guidelines

GR ensures continuous forwarding when BGP restarts or an active/standby switchover occurs.

BGP peers exchange Open messages containing GR information. If both parties have GR capability, they establish a GR-capable session.

After you execute this command, the device re-establishes BGP sessions.

Examples

# Enable GR capability for BGP process 100.

<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] bgp 100
[Sysname-bgp-default] graceful-restart
