interfaces. On a switch, this command can disable/enable the specified VLAN 
interface to send IS-IS packets.
Configuring IS-IS GR
The network is interrupted temporarily when an IS-IS router is restarted because 
the neighbor relationship of this router with other neighbors is removed and LSP 
packets are flooded. The GR feature of IS-IS can solve this problem. This feature 
enables the restarted router to notify its neighbors of its restart state and permits 
the neighbors to establish new adjacency relation without disconnection. The GR 
feature of IS-IS has the following benefits:
This GR feature is applied on the restarted routers and initially started routers, 
and enables the restarted routers to send connection requests to neighbors 
again instead of ending the adjacency relation.
This GR feature reduces the influence on the network caused by waiting for 
database synchronization before generating LSP packets to the utmost extent.
This feature sets overload flag bits in LSP packets until database 
synchronization for the routers started first, so that route loops do not occur in 
the network.
The restart interval specifies the interval of restarting routers. The restart 
interval is set as holdtime in Hello PDU of IS-IS. In this way, the neighbors of a 
router will not break adjacency relations with it when it is restarted.
The restarted router suppresses SA bits in Hello PDU to request its neighbors to 
suppress advertising the adjacency relation in the set time range. SA bits are 
deleted when the database of this router is synchronized. You can use the 
graceful-restart suppress-sa command to disable this function if you do not 
want to enable this router to set SA bits in Hello PDU. With the help of this 
feature, the black hole effect caused by sending/receiving LSP packets can be 
avoided during the GR process.
