Usage Information
By default, OSPFv3 graceful restart is disabled and functions only in a helper role to help restarting neighbor
routers in their graceful restarts when it receives a Grace LSA.
To enable OSPFv3 graceful restart, enter the ipv6 router ospf command to enter OSPFv3 configuration mode
and then configure a grace period using the graceful-restart grace-period command. The grace period is the
length of time that OSPFv3 neighbors continue to advertise the restarting router as though it is fully adjacent.
When graceful restart is enabled (restarting role), an OSPFv3 restarting expects its OSPFv3 neighbors to help
when it restarts by not advertising the broken link.
