Configuring ECMP support for BGP
"ECMP" stands for "Equal Cost Multiple Path". ECMP is a mechanism that allows multiple routes to the same destination with different next-hops and load-balances routed traffic over those multiple next-hops.
• ECMP only works for routes that are sourced by the same routing protocol (that is: Static Routes, OSPF, or BGP).
• ECMP is enabled by default with 10 paths.
• ECMP with static routes is effective if the routes are configured with the same distance and same priority.
To configure ECMP support - CLI
config router bgp
set ebgp-multipath disable[|enable]
set ibgp-multipath disable[|enable]
...
end
