• number-of-paths—The maximum number of next hops in a BGP route.

template further restricts the range.
Default Configuration
BGP advertises a single next hop by default.
Command Mode
BGP Router Config
User Guidelines
Paths are considered for ECMP when their attributes are the same (local
preference, AS path, origin, MED, peer type and IGP distance). When BGP
uses multiple paths in an ECMP route, BGP still selects one path as the best
path and advertises only that path to its peers.
Refer to Appendix A-1 in the Users Configuration Guide for the default per
platform ECMP ranges using the entry "Number of ECMP next hops per
route." The number of ECMP next hops is dependent on the chosen STM
template and may be greater or lesser than the default. Use the show sdm
prefer command to display the ECMP Next Hops for the currently selected
template.
Command History
Introduced in version 6.2.0.1 firmware.
