BGP and BGP4+ Commands

restart bgp graceful (BGP)

Use this command to force the switch to perform a graceful BGP restart.

Syntax restart bgp graceful

Mode Privileged Exec

Usage Before using this command, BGP graceful-restart capabilities must be enabled within the router BGP (bgp graceful-restart (BGP and BGP4+) command on page 3.32), and each neighbor configured on the device should be set to advertise its graceful-restart capability (bgp graceful-restartgraceful-reset (BGP and BGP4+) command on page 3.33). The neighbor devices also need to have BGP graceful-restart capabilities enabled (bgp graceful-restart (BGP and BGP4+) command on page 3.32).

This command stops the whole BGP process and makes the switch retain the BGP routes and mark them as stale. Receiving BGP speakers, retain and mark as stale all BGP routes received from the restarting speaker for all the address families received in the Graceful Restart Capability exchange.

When a restart bgp graceful command is issued, the BGP configuration is reloaded from the last saved configuration. Ensure you first issue a copy running-configstartup-config.
