Usage 
Information
OSPFv3 graceful restart supports planned-only and/or unplanned-only restarts. The default is 
support for both planned and unplanned restarts.
• A planned restart occurs when you enter the redundancy force-failover 
rpm command to force the primary RPM to switch to the backup RPM. During a 
planned restart, OSPF sends out a Type-11 Grace LSA before the system switches over 
to the backup RPM.
• An unplanned restart occurs when an unplanned event causes the active RPM to 
switch to the backup RPM, such as when an active process crashes, the active RPM is 
removed, or a power failure happens. During an unplanned restart, OSPF sends out a 
Grace LSA when the backup RPM comes online.
By default, both planned and unplanned restarts trigger an OSPFv3 graceful restart. Selecting 
one or the other mode restricts OSPFv3 to the single selected mode.
