Disabling BGP4+ Graceful Restart

The BGP4+ graceful restart (GR) feature is enabled by default, and can be disabled on a routing device.
  1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode. 
    device# configure terminal
  2. Enter the router bgp command to enable BGP routing. 
    device(config)# router bgp
  3. (Optional) Enter the address-family command and specify the ipv6 and unicast keywords to enter IPv6 address family configuration mode. 
    device(config-bgp-router)# address-family ipv6 unicast
  4. Enter the no graceful-restart command to disable graceful restart at the IPv6 address family configuration level. 
    device(config-bgp-ipv6u))# no graceful-restart

In the following example, the graceful restart feature is disabled at the IPv6 address family configuration level. 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# router bgp 
device(config-bgp-router)# address-family ipv4 unicast
device(config-bgp-ipv6u))# no graceful-restart
