Parameters
● ebgp—Enable multipath support for external BGP routes.
● ibgp—Enable multipath support for internal BGP routes.
● number—Enter the number of parallel paths, from 1 to 64.
Default 64 paths
Command Mode ROUTER-BGP
Usage
Information
Dell EMC recommends not using multipath and add path simultaneously in a route reflector. To recompute
the best path, use the clear ip bgp * command. The no version of this command resets the value to
the default
NOTE: To configure these settings for a non default VRF instance, you must first enter the
ROUTER-CONFIG-VRF sub mode using the following commands:
1. Enter the ROUTER BGP mode using the router bgp as-number command.
2. From the ROUTER BGP mode, enter the ROUTER BGP VRF mode using the vrf vrf-name
command.
Example (EBGP)
OS10(conf-router-bgp-2)# maximum-paths ebgp 2 maxpaths
Example (IBGP)
OS10(conf-router-bgp-2)# maximum-paths ibgp 4 maxpaths
