period command. The grace period is the time that the OSPFv3 neighbors continue to advertise the
restarting router as though it is fully adjacent. When you enable graceful restart (restarting role), an
OSPFv3 restarting expects its OSPFv3 neighbors to help when it restarts by not advertising the broken
link.
When you enable the helper-reject role on an interface using the ipv6 ospf graceful-restart
helper-reject command, you reconfigure OSPFv3 graceful restart to function in a restarting-only role.
OSPFv3 does not participate in the graceful restart of a neighbor.
NOTE: Enter the ipv6 ospf graceful-restart helper-reject command in Interface
configuration mode.
• Enable OSPFv3 graceful restart globally by setting the grace period (in seconds).
CONF-IPV6-ROUTER-OSPF mode
graceful-restart grace-period seconds
The valid values are from 40 to 1800 seconds.
• Configure an OSPFv3 interface to not act on the Grace LSAs that it receives from a restarting OSPFv3
neighbor.

• Specify the operating mode and type of events that trigger a graceful restart.
CONF-IPV6-ROUTER-OSPF mode
graceful-restart mode [planned-only | unplanned-only]
– Planned-only: the OSPFv3 router supports graceful restart only for planned restarts. A planned
restart is when you manually enter a redundancy force-failover rpm command to force the
primary RPM over to the secondary RPM. During a planned restart, OSPFv3 sends out a Grace LSA
before the system switches over to the secondary RPM. OSPFv3 is notified that a planned restart is
happening.
– Unplanned-only: the OSPFv3 router supports graceful-restart only for unplanned restarts.
During an unplanned restart, OSPFv3 sends out a Grace LSA once the secondary RPM comes
online.
The default is both planned and unplanned restarts trigger an OSPFv3 graceful restart. Selecting one
or the other mode restricts OSPFv3 to the single selected mode.
• Disable OSPFv3 graceful-restart.
CONF-IPV6-ROUTER-OSPF mode
