NSE4_FGT-6.2 Exam - Question 113


Which two route attributes must be equal for static routes to be eligible for equal cost multipath (ECMP) routing? (Choose two.)

Show Answer
Correct Answer: BCD

For static routes to be eligible for equal cost multipath (ECMP) routing, the two key attributes that must be equal are cost and distance. Cost represents the expense associated with a route, while distance typically signifies the number of hops or another metric used to ascertain route preference. When both cost and distance are equal, the static routes can be considered for ECMP, distributing traffic over multiple paths.

B & D are correct - FGT_Infrastructure-6.2, p.29 (route are static, so metric is the same)

When there are two or more duplicate static routes that have the same distance, FortiGate installs all of them in the routing table. If they also have the same priority, then the routes are known as ECMP static routes.
