configure ospfv3 restart-helper

configure ospfv3 [[vlan | tunnel] all | {vlan} vlan-name | {tunnel} tunnel-name | area area-identifier] restart-helper [none | planned | unplanned | both]

Description

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.

Syntax Description


vlan
all	Variable description, available options, and notes.
`vlan-name`	VLAN name.
area	OSPFv3 area.
`area-identifier`	Area identifier.
none	Disable helper mode.
planned	Support planned restart only.
unplanned	Support unplanned restart only.
both	Support both planned and unplanned restart.

Default

Restart helper mode is disabled by default.

Usage Guidelines

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.

Restart Helper mode is displayed in the show ospfv3 interfaces detail output.
