OSPF Commands

Command Mode

Router OSPF Configuration mode

User Guidelines

The grace LSA announcing the graceful restart includes a restart reason.

Reasons 1 (software restart) and 2 (software reload/upgrade) are considered

planned restarts. Reasons 0 (unknown) and 3 (switch to redundant control

processor) are considered unplanned restarts.
nsf ietf helper disable is functionally equivalent to no nsf helper and is

supported solely for IS CLI compatibility.

nsf helper strict-lsa-checking

Use the nsf-helper strict-lsa-checking command to require that an OSPF

helpful neighbor exit helper mode whenever a topology change occurs. Use

the “no” form of this command to allow OSPF to continue as a helpful

neighbor in spite of topology changes.

Syntax

nsf [ietf ] helper strict-lsa-checking
no nsf [ietf ] helper strict-lsa-checking

ietf —This keyword is used to distinguish the IETF standard

implementation of graceful restart from other implementations. Since the

IETF implementation is the only one supported, this keyword is optional.

Default Configuration

A helpful neighbor exits helper mode when a topology change occurs.

Command Mode

Router OSPF Configuration mode

User Guidelines

The restarting router is unable to react to topology changes. In particular, the

restarting router will not immediately update its forwarding table; therefore, a

topology change may introduce forwarding loops or black holes that persist
