Creating an ECMP Group Bundle
Within each ECMP group, you can specify an interface.
If you enable monitoring for the ECMP group, the utilization calculation is performed when the average utilization of the link-bundle (as
opposed to a single link within the bundle) exceeds 60%.

Viewing an ECMP Group
NOTE
: An ecmp-group index is generated automatically for each unique ecmp-group when you congure multipath routes to the
same network. The system can generate a maximum of 512 unique ecmp-groups. The ecmp-group indices are generated in even
numbers (0, 2, 4, 6... 1022) and are for information only.
You can congure ecmp-group with id 2 for link bundle monitoring. This ecmp-group is dierent from the ecmp-group index 2 that is
created by conguring routes and is automatically generated. These two ecmp-groups are not related in any way.
