Description
This article explains how to increase the Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) max paths value on a FortiGate.
Solution
FortiOS uses ECMP to distribute traffic to the same destination such as the Internet or another network. Using ECMP you can add multiple routes to the destination and give each of those routes the same distance and priority.
The default setting for the number of routes allowed to be included in an ECMP configuration is 10. The following steps can be used to set the number of routes to a value greater than 10.
# config system settings
# set ecmp-max-paths <max_entries>
# end |
where the <max_entries> value is between 1 and 100.
ECMP routing will be disabled if the <max_entries> value is set to 1.
