ECMP MIB objects

The SNMP Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) MIB object is used to configure ECMP for IPv6 using SNMP. ECMP enables the router to balance traffic to a specific destination across multiple equal-cost paths.

To use these objects, perform the following steps.

  1. Enable IPv6 load sharing using the fdryIpv6LoadShare MIB object.

    IPv6 load sharing is enabled by default. If it needs to be enabled, set fdryIpv6LoadShare to 1.

  2. Configure the maximum number of load sharing paths for IPv6 using the fdryIpv6LoadShareNumOfPaths MIB object.
