You can assign interfaces of a virtual router, both global and user-defined, to an ECMP zone for the device.

Before you begin

  • To configure an equal cost static route for an interface, ensure to associate it with an ECMP zone. See Create an ECMP Zone.

  • All routing configuration settings of a non-VRF capable device are also available for a global virtual router.

  • You cannot define a static route for interfaces with same destination and metric without associating the interfaces with an ECMP zone.

Procedure

Step 1

From the Devices > Device Management page, edit the threat defense device. Click the Routing tab.

Step 2

From the drop-down list, select the virtual router whose interfaces are associated with an ECMP zone.

Step 3

To configure the equal cost static route for the interfaces, click Static Route.

Step 4

Either click Add Route to add a new route, or click Edit (edit icon) for an existing route.

Step 5

From the Interface drop-down, select the interface belonging to the virtual router and an ECMP zone.

Step 6

Select the destination network from the Available Networks box and click Add.

Step 7

Enter a gateway for the network.

Step 8

Enter a metric value. It can be a number that ranges between 1 and 254.

Step 9

To save the settings, click Save.

Step 10

To configure equal cost static routing, repeat the steps to configure the static route for another interface in the same ECMP zone with the same destination network and metric value. Remember to provide a different gateway.
