hi,

I am having M40e router with dual RE.

I am facing problem with Graceful swithover. When I do configuration as
follows:

RE1

chassis {
    redundancy {
        routing-engine 0 master;
        routing-engine 1 backup;
        sfm 0 preferred;
        failover on-loss-of-keepalives;
        graceful-switchover {
            enable;
        }

RE0

chassis {
    redundancy {
        routing-engine 0 master;
        routing-engine 1 backup;
        sfm 0 preferred;
        failover on-loss-of-keepalives;
        graceful-switchover {
            enable;

Is this a right configuration for graceful switchover? If yes, then traffic 
should forward through router without interupting.

I am running OSPF,BGP & MPLS on my M40e. Is it necssary to configure 
Graceful-restart for those protocol so that graceful switchover between 
RE's work ?
