Important:

Restarting any part of a BGP protocol causes neighbor adjacencies to be torn down and brought back up.
The protocol's Graceful Restart mechanism does not take effect.
Side effects of restarting a BGP instance include:
- Loss of BGP routes
- Traffic outage
- Network topology reconvergence
In a ClusterXL or VRRP Cluster Two or more Security Gateways that work together in a redundant configuration - High Availability, or Load Sharing., restart of a BGP instance does not trigger a failover.
