Frequently Asked Questions

How does OSPF graceful restart work?

OSPF uses grace LSAs to inform neighbors of the restart, and routing interfaces come back up via LAGs. Unicast connectivity is interrupted by no more than 50 ms.

What happens if the management unit fails?

Its link to the aggregation router is removed from the LAG, and OSPF sends grace LSAs to neighbors to maintain adjacencies during the restart.

How is PIM restart handled?

PIM starts sending hello messages with a new generation ID to prompt neighbors to quickly resend multicast routing information.

How does the forwarding plane handle restarts?

The control plane updates the driver with checkpointed unicast routes, and the forwarding plane reconciles L3 hardware tables.
