ECMP configuration example

Use the following commands to enable ECMP on each of the supported protocols:

OSPF

ospf maximum-path <path_count>

RIP

rip maximum-path <path_count>

Static Routes maximum-path <path_count>

In all commands above, the <path_count> parameter represents the number of ECMP paths allotted. This is a value between 1 and 4. The default is 1.
