Syntax Description
| none | Do not act as a graceful OSPF restart router. |

| unplanned | Only act as a graceful OSPF restart router for unplanned restarts. |
| both | Act as a graceful OSPF restart router for both planned and unplanned restarts. |

Usage Guidelines
This command configures the router as a graceful OSPF router. When configured for planned restarts, it will advertise Grace-LSAs before restarting (for example, during an upgrade of the OSPF module). When configured for unplanned restarts, it will advertise Grace-LSAs after restarting but before sending any Hellos. When configured for both, the router will advertise restarting regardless of whether the restart was planned or unplanned.
Example
The following command configures a router to perform graceful OSPF restarts only for planned restarts:
configure ospf restart planned
