Usage guidelines

	CAUTION: Use enhanced ECMP mode only if you require a small number of ECMP route groups. In this mode, the supported number of ECMP route groups significantly decreases.

When one or multiple ECMP routes fail, the default ECMP mode enables the device to reallocate all traffic to the remaining routes. The enhanced ECMP mode enables the device to reallocate only the traffic of the failed routes to the remaining routes.

An ECMP route group contains ECMP routes to the same destination. When the hardware resources used by all ECMP route groups on the device reach the upper limit, no more ECMP route groups can be created. The compressed ECMP mode enables the device to compress the hardware resources of all ECMP route groups to save storage space for more ECMP route groups.

If you execute the command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.

This command applies to both IPv4 and IPv6 ECMP routes.
