• GR helper—A neighbor of the GR restarter. It helps the GR restarter to complete the GR
process.
OSPF GR has the following types:
• IETF GR—Uses Opaque LSAs to implement GR.
• Non-IETF GR—Uses link local signaling (LLS) to advertise GR capability and uses out of band
synchronization to synchronize the LSDB.
A device can act as a GR restarter and GR helper at the same time.
Configuring OSPF GR restarter
You can configure the IETF or non-IETF OSPF GR restarter.
IMPORTANT:
You cannot enable OSPF NSR on a device that acts as GR restarter.
