Configuring LDP Graceful Restart
The LDP graceful restart mechanism is always enabled on the switch. As a result, a fault tolerant (FT) 
Session TLV is automatically added to LDP initialization messages to indicate graceful restart is enabled 
for the router. The FT Session TLV also includes a default non-zero reconnect time that advertises to LDP 
neighbors that the local router retains its forwarding state across restarts.
Even though the graceful restart mechanism is always enabled, it is possible to use the following CLI 
commands to configure graceful restart parameters:
For more information about graceful restart commands, see the “Label Distribution Protocol Commands” 
chapter in the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
Configures the graceful restart helper status for the LDP router. This 
signals to other LDP routers whether or not this router is able to help 
with the graceful restart process.
Configures the Reconnect Timeout value that a router advertises in the 
FT Session TLV of LDP messages. The Reconnect Timeout specifies 
the amount of time that neighboring LDP routers should wait for the 
sender of the LDP message to gracefully restart and resume sending 
LDP messages to the neighbor.
Configures the amount of time the router retains stale MPLS label-for-
warding equivalence class (FEC) bindings received from a neighboring 
LDP router as the result of a graceful restart process.
Configures the amount of time that the LDP router retains its MPLS for-
warding state after a restart. During this time, the router is considered in 
a restarting state. When the timer expires, the router is considered 
restarted.
Configures the amount of time the router will wait for a neighboring 
router to re-establish an LDP session. If the neighboring router fails to 
establish a session within this amount of time, the local router will 
delete the stale label-FEC (Forwarding Equivalence Class) bindings 
received from the neighboring router.
