By default, graceful Routing Engine switchover (GRES) is disabled. To configure GRES,
include the
graceful-switchover
level.

graceful-switchover;
When you enable GRES, the command-line interface (CLI) indicates which Routing Engine
you are using. For example:
{master} [edit]
user@host#
To disable GRES, delete the

hierarchy level.
When using GRES with Graceful Restart, if adjacencies between the Routing Engine and
the neighboring peer 'helper' routers time out, graceful restart protocol extensions are
unable to notify the peer 'helper' routers about the impending restart. Graceful restart
can then stop and cause interruptions in traffic.
To ensure that these adjacencies are kept, change the hold-time for IS-IS protocols from
the default of 27 seconds to a value higher than 40 seconds.
