Hi
Wondering if routeros has graceful restart option for OSPF and BGP.
I am looking at connecting Active Passive Pa cluster to some CCR’s. they suggest for a faster fail over to tick off Graceful restart for OSPF and BGP.
Currently my setup is OSPF and BGP with BFD. I have to remove the BFD. but my google skills are not finding definite answer for GR on ROS
Thanks
Hi
No answer to this ?

Graceful restart currently is not supported.
WOndering if there has been an update to this.
IE has it been added - or to add to this will it never be added
Hi Guys,
We have received notification from Google that it wants us to implement Graceful Restart, is this in the list of BGP features to be added?
Dear Peer,
Google performs weekly software updates on its routing systems that restart BGP sessions. This could lead to a brief traffic shift to other ports if routers do not have Graceful Restart (GR) enabled. GR is a new standard protocol for the internet community that allows a BGP speaker to preserve a forwarding state during a restart. For details, see Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) document RFC4724: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4724
Yes, in ROSv7.
Thank you for the confirmation Maris.
I logged on to the forum to ask for an update on this, and you just happened to have posted it!
This is great news…have been waiting for this feature for a while.
How do I enable this? I cannot see anything in docs nor in CLI. (v7.2 stable)

Dear Mikrotik,
I would also appreciate a response on this. Where is the promised graceful restart in ROSv7 ? We really need it for OSPF
Bump ^^
Any news on this feature, its quite important when connecting to (non-MikroTik) peers who utilize this function to perform HA failover for software upgrades (or failures) etc.
Not having this feature means we have outages every time our upstream and downstream peers have maintenance, (as they have routers with HA that need this feature).
MikroTik really needs to support accepting/advertising this feature to peers at a minimum, however I cant see it mentioned in the routing protocol overview, even as unsupported, https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/Routing+Protocol+Overview, this makes me feel like its not even “in the pipeline” right now?
I can see it listed in Winbox on BGP peers, but no way to actually “enable it”?!
would also like to know how this could be used as i am converting our bgp main isp link to 2 ccr2004
also … is there a list with all bgp capability acronyms anywhere? did not find anything useful right now?
Hello, Can you share exact ROS 7, Firmware version where BGP GR option is available. I have CCR2009 with v7.11.3 and could not find GR option on it.
GR is not supported atm no one knows where this could be implemented
