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.
