Configure Bgp Restart Address-Family - Extreme Networks ExtremeWare XOS Command Reference Manual

ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 supports only the Summit X450 family of switches and the BlackDiamond 8800 series switch.

configure bgp restart address-family

configure bgp restart [add | delete] address-family [ipv4-unicast | ipv4-
multicast]
Description
Configures the address family used with graceful BGP restart.
Syntax Description
add
delete
ipv4-unicast
ipv4-multicast
Default
The default is IPv4 unicast.
Usage Guidelines
This command configures the address family participating in graceful BGP restart. An address family
can be added or deleted. By adding an address family, BGP will instruct the local hardware and
software to preserve BGP routes of that address family during a graceful restart. The local OPEN
message will contain all the added address families.
This command cannot be used while BGP is enabled globally on the switch.
NOTE
For BGP graceful restart to inter-operate with Cisco routers, any restarting routers connected to Cisco routers must
be configured with the command,
neighbor <remoteaddr> capability ipv4-unicast. The command must be executed before BGP is enabled globally on
the switch.
Example
The following command configures a router to add IPv4 unicast addresses to graceful BGP restarts:
configure bgp restart add address-family ipv4-unicast
