[j-nsp] receiving end of graceful-restart enabled by default?

[Gary Tate]

Per peer configuration is not needed (or and option) to enable graceful 
restart.  To be more precise:

In the main instance when you configure routing-options 
graceful-restart all protocols in that instance have graceful-restart 
enable.

If you have Logical routers then you need to have routing-options 
graceful restart enable in the logical router.

If you have routing instances (vrf vpls etc) then routing-option 
graceful-restart is needed for each instance you wish to enable it for.

If you only want to enable graceful restart for a particular protocol 
then you omit routing-options graceful-restart (either main or per 
routing instance, logical router)  and configure each protocol 
separately e.g.

set protocols bgp graceful-restart
set protocols ospf graceful-restart
