hi all, Suppose I am providing real-time transactions over IP in a non NSR environment(I dont invest much on getting a backup RP i.e).
But I have NSF, owing to the ease of which OSPF can be used, I use OSPF to manage connections to WAN. And I have bought new I/0 modules which require a restart for all my routers for proper installation. Luckily, I have inservice upgrade on the boxes. Assuming that I am a new operator without any certifications under my belt, I dont have a beautiful NMS with colored buttons. But I must implement the new I/O cards and its features without disturbing the users who are using the network for routing transactions such as data backup over network or voice forwarding and other distributed applications running over TCP/IP using my network. I want to graceful restart all my routers one by one, called as cascaded re-starts, how can I make sure the transition is done seamlessly. I want the "this thing" to be automatic, since each router is graceful restarted and then then the next one is re-started and then the next one, automatically. I can write a script to do that, but I am not sure the forwarding will be safe, because it is difficult to control the network transient conditions. Any mechanism available ?.
