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 Cluster, restart of a BGP instance does not trigger a failover.
