Configuring equal cost multi-path (ECMP) routing for static IP routes

ECMP routing allows multiple entries for routes to the same destination. Each path has the same

cost as the other paths, but a different next-hop router. The ip load-sharing command specifies

the maximum number of equal paths that can be configured. Values range from 2 to 4.

Example 64 Example of an ECMP set with the same destination but different next-hop routers

This example shows configuration of an ECMP set with two different gateways to the same

destination address but through different next-hop routers. For more information, see “OSPF

equal-cost multipath (ECMP) for different subnets available through the same next-hop routes”

(page 204)".
