Achieving BGP ECMP with Check Point R80.30

[Blason_R]

HI Team,

I have 3 BGP Links terminated on 6900 firewall and I wanted to achieve BGP ECMP with link 1 and 3. I guess due to Path and certain BGP change its picking up best route. Can someone please help me editing BGP attributes so that I can achive BGP ECMP.

I would suggest to contact CP TAC for this...

Do you have a diagram to accompany the above?

The following SKs will help with the fundamentals of ECMP & AS_PATH prepending which are likely required here:

sk100504 (ECMP)

sk103047 (AS_PATH)

That said it's probably more something for Pro Services than TAC.
