OSPF Commands
until the graceful restart completes. By exiting the graceful restart on a 
topology change, a router tries to eliminate the loops or black holes as quickly 
as possible by routing around the restarting router. 
A helpful neighbor considers a link down with the restarting router to be a 
topology change, regardless of the strict LSA checking configuration.
nsf restart-interval
Use the nsf restart-interval command to configure the length of the grace 
period on the restarting router.  Use the “no” form of this command to revert 
the grace period to its default.
Syntax
nsf [ietf ] restart-interval 
seconds
no nsf [ietf] restart-interval
• 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.
seconds — The number of seconds that the restarting router asks its 
neighbors to wait before exiting helper mode.  The restarting router 
includes the restart interval in its grace LSAs (range 1–1800 seconds).
Default Configuration
The default restart interval is 120 seconds.
Command Mode
Router OSPF
User Guidelines
The grace period must be set long enough to allow the restarting router to 
reestablish all of its adjacencies and complete a full database exchange with 
each of those neighbors.
Example
console(config-router)#nsf restart-interval 180
