The impact of the switchover depends how you configured your protocols
on this ASR and on the other sides. For OSPFv2 and BGP you may have full
NSR (no support from the other side required), for OSPFv3 you may have
graceful restart only (and the other side has to support it).

Turning on NSR or graceful switchover for this protocol will have no
impact (no session flaps), but remember that graceful so is something
that you negotiate, so you have to reset your OSPF sessions to enable
graceful so.
