Why each option
To ensure WAN Edge routing tables are refreshed within 2 minutes after a vSmart connection is restored, the OMP graceful-restart holdtime must be configured to 120 seconds. This specifies how long a WAN Edge will retain routes learned from a vSmart during a temporary control plane outage.
The 'omp graceful-restart timers holdtime 120' command sets the OMP graceful restart hold timer to 120 seconds (2 minutes). This timer determines how long a WAN Edge router will maintain its OMP routes when it loses connectivity to the vSmart controller, ensuring that once the connection is re-established within this period, routes are quickly refreshed without being flushed entirely.
The 'advertisement-interval' timer controls how often OMP updates are sent, not how long routes are held during a graceful restart scenario.
Disabling graceful restart ('no graceful-restart') would cause routes to be flushed immediately upon vSmart adjacency loss, exacerbating the problem of dropped traffic during unstable connections, not solving it.
The 'eor-timer' (End-of-Rib timer) is related to the time a router waits to receive all routes from a peer after establishing an adjacency, not for holding routes during an outage.
