Usage 
Information
The higher this parameter is set, the faster OSPF converge takes place.
NOTE: The faster the convergence, the more frequent the route calculations 
and updates. This behavior impacts CPU utilization and may impact adjacency 
stability in larger topologies.
Generally, convergence level 1 meets most convergence requirements. Higher 
convergence levels should only be selected following consultation with Dell 
Networking technical support.
graceful-restart grace-period
Specifies the time duration, in seconds, that the router’s neighbors continue to advertise the router as 
fully adjacent regardless of the synchronization state during a graceful restart.
NOTE: This command enables OSPFv2 graceful restart globally by setting the grace period (in 
seconds) that an OSPFv2 router’s neighbors continues to advertise the router as adjacent during a 
graceful restart.
