OSPF Graceful-restart Passport 8600

[capob]

Good afternoon -

We are trying to enable OSPF graceful-restart on our Passport 8600.

Is this possible on the 8600 and where would I find configuration information?

Thank you

John

Pretty Genuine request. But I don't think it is possible on ERS8600. I couldn't find an option for this.

The ESR8600 does not support graceful-restart feature. It also does not support LLS protocol.

Alternatives will be, hopefully, provided by Avaya tomorrow. There might be a way to tune OSPF timers but presently there is no known way to keep the OSPF process running when the downstream neighbour has a graceful-restart.

The IETF standard for NSF does not make any different as the ESR8600 is not aware of link-state.

That's pretty disappointing. Lets hope for that. While searching in the documentation, I got to know a hint that Secure router supports the graceful restart. But not in ERS8600.
