Defining Maximum Paths

You can add routing table entries manually (as static routes), or they are formed as routers discover their neighbors and exchange routing tables (via OSPF, BGP, and other routing protocols).

The maximum paths command controls the maximum number of parallel routes that the routing protocol (BGP, IS-IS, OSPF, or RIP) can support.

maximum-paths

• Use to control the maximum number of parallel routes that the routing protocol supports.
• The maximum number of routes can be in the range 1–16 for BGP, IS-IS, OSPF, or RIP.
• Example

  host1(config-router)#maximum-paths 2

• Use the no version to restore the default value, 1 for BGP or 4 for IS-IS, OSPF, or RIP.
• See maximum-paths
