This command configures graceful restart helper mode behavior of OSPFv3 interfaces for its neighbors. When an interface is acting as a helper, it will continue to advertise the restarting router as if it was fully adjacent.

| planned | Support planned restart only. |
| unplanned | Support unplanned restart only. |
| both | Support both planned and unplanned restart. |
Restart helper mode is disabled by default.
When the area option is used the command applies to all interfaces in the area at that time. One OSPFv3 interface may not help more than one restarting router at a time. An OSPFv3 interface may not enter helper mode when the router is performing a graceful restart. All the interfaces to a neighbor router must be configured as graceful restart helpers, or the router will not support graceful restart for its neighbor.
