Allied Telesis VERSION 5.4.3-2.6, BGP4 manual Configuring BGP Graceful Reset

BGP and BGP4+ Configuration

Configuring BGP Graceful Reset

The graceful restart feature for BGP session reset is used so that any changes in network configuration do not affect packet forwarding. The bgp graceful-restartgraceful-reset (BGP and BGP4+) command on page 3.33 invokes graceful restart only when a configuration change forces a peer reset.

This example shows configuring BGP graceful reset.
