On Cisco, We would like to disable BGP GR on specific router.

syjeon · ‎05-15-2010

as you know, the bgp grace-full restart enabled globally on the bgp all-neighbor.

but we got the some problem, there is no problem within our network to peer with BGP, but External-BGP with CE has got the problem, the log as

"*May 16 04:27:35.549 KST: %BGP-3-NOTIFICATION: received from neighbor xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx passive 2/7 (unsupported/disjoint capability) 8 bytes 4006000A 00010100"

our main mission is that we disable the BGP gr with specific CE router, How can we do it?.

I found that the juniper can disable BGP gr on some specific router or peer group.

How Can we archive on Cisco device?

It's very argent matter,

Hi,

Unfortunately Cisco's Graceful restart is a global command and applies to all neighbors. With Juniper you can assign it globally, per group and/or per neighbor (a lots of options).

Thank you for your answer.

if there is problem on just one router with BGP-R , not all, we disabled BGP-GR globally, Right ?.

It doesn't make sense. Why Didn't they make a bgp-gr per specific router or peer group?

or not, when we got the above same issue on site, How can we do it?. there is no way to change-config on CE router?

yes, I would globally disable it until you figure out the problem. Once the problem is resolved you can always put it back.

I do not know if you can do it per BGP peer group with Cisco, but if possible that would be better then doing globally. Juniper software is a lot more flexible when it comes to options like this, because it was build originally for service providers.
