Configuring Redundant Switches in a Stack for Graceful Restart
By default, OSPF graceful restart is disabled. To configure OSPF graceful restart support use the ip ospf
For example, to modify OSPF graceful restart so that it only supports planned restarts enter:
-> ip ospf restart-support planned-only
To disable support for graceful restart use the no form of the ip ospf
-> no ip ospf restart-support
Continuous forwarding during a graceful restart depends on several factors. If the secondary module has a different router MAC than the primary module, or if one or more ports of a VLAN belonged to the primary module, spanning tree
Note. Graceful restart is only supported on active ports (i.e., interfaces), which are on the secondary or idle switches in a stack during a takeover. It is not supported on ports on a primary switch in a stack.
Optionally, you can configure graceful restart parameters with the following CLI commands:
ip ospf | Configures the grace period for achieving a graceful OSPF restart. |
ip ospf | Administratively enables and disables the capability of an OSPF router |
| to operate in helper mode in response to a router performing a graceful |
| restart. |
ip ospf
ip ospf restart initiate
Administratively enables and disables whether or not a changed Link State Advertisement (LSA) will result in termination of graceful restart by a helping router.
Initiates a planned graceful restart.
For more information about graceful restart commands, see the “OSPF Commands” chapter in the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
