IPv4 and IPv6 ECMP load balancing
You can use the following command to configure the IPv4 ECMP load balancing method for a VDOM:
config system settings
set v4-ecmp-mode {source-ip-based |
weight-based |
source-dest-ip-based | usage-based}
end
With VDOM-based session tables enabled, the FortiGate-6000 supports all IPv4 ECMP load balancing methods except usage-based
. If you select usage-based
, all IPv4 traffic uses the first IPv4 ECMP route instead of being load balanced among all Ipv4 ECMP routes. All other IPv4 ECMP load balancing methods are supported.
