11-36 maximum-paths (BGP Router Config)
Use this command to specify the maximum number of next hops BGP may include in an Equal Cost
Multipath (ECMP) route derived from paths received from neighbors outside the local autonomous system.
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.
Use the no command to reset back to the default the number of next hops BGP may include in an ECMP
route.
