Cisco Systems 3130 User Manual

The BGP NSF Awareness feature is supported for IPv4 in the IP services feature set. To enable this 
feature with BGP routing, you need to enable Graceful Restart. When the neighboring router is 
NSF-capable, and this feature is enabled, the Layer 3 switch continues to forward packets from the 

Neighbor
