ECMP configuration using Enterprise Device Manager

This chapter describes the procedure you can use to configure ECMP using Enterprise Device Manager (EDM).

The Equal Cost MultiPath (ECMP) feature allows routers to determine equal cost paths to the same destination prefix. The multiple paths can be used for load sharing of traffic and allows faster convergence to other active paths in case of network failure.


Attention

ECMP is not supported on the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5510. ECMP works in a mixed stack but cannot run on any Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5510 units in the stack.
