Verifying BGP NSF

To verify BGP NSF, you must check that BGP graceful restart is configured on the SSO-enabled
networking device and on the neighbor devices. To verify, follow these steps:
Verify that "bgp graceful-restart" appears in the BGP configuration of the SSO-enabled switch by
Step 1
entering the show running-config command:
Switch# show running-config

router bgp 120

.
bgp graceful-restart
neighbor 10.2.2.2 remote-as 300
.
.
.
Repeat Step 1 on each of the BGP neighbors.
Step 2
On the SSO device and the neighbor device, verify that the graceful restart function is shown as both

advertised and received, and confirm the address families that have the graceful restart capability. If no
address families are listed, BGP NSF does not occur either:
Switch# show ip bgp neighbors x.x.x.x

Purpose
Enables a BGP routing process, which places the
switch in switch configuration mode.
Enables the BGP graceful restart capability,
starting BGP NSF.
If you enter this command after the BGP session
has been established, you must restart the session
for the capability to be exchanged with the BGP
neighbor.
Use this command on the restarting switch and all
of its peers.
