vMX

Hi everyone,

I am trying to learn ECMP using two LSP. 

SET UP:

MX2 must use ECMP over two "RSVP LSP MX2-MX7 " to reach 57.57.57.0/24, however I do not see  it happening.

We can see MX2 has 57.57.57.0/24 pointed  to two LSPS.

root@MX2> show route

57.57.57.0/24 *[Static/5] 01:20:07
                          to 24.24.24.4 via em4.24, label-switched-path MX2-MX5-SEC
                              > to 23.23.23.3 via em5.23, label-switched-path MX2->MX5
                                 [OSPF/10] 04:32:44, metric 3
                               > to 23.23.23.3 via em5.23

But only one next hop is installed for 57.57.57.0/24 :

root@MX2> show route forwarding-table destination 57.57.57.0/24

57.57.57.0/24 user 0 indr 342 1     23.23.23.3 ucst 340 9 em5.23

What am I missing?

Thanks and have a good weekend!!

Hello sarah,

can you please check if this helps you achieving your goal:

https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/topic-map/load-balancing-bgp-session.html#id-configuring-ecmp-next-hops-for-rsvp-and-ldp-lsps-for-load-balancing

Additionally, this may help as well:

routing-options {
    forwarding-table {
        export ECMP-per-packet;
    }
}
policy-options {
    policy-statement ECMP-per-packet {
        then {
            load-balance per-packet;
        }
    }
}

So there is no issue with config, something to do with vMX JUNOS 18 because when I loaded the same config on vMx JUNOS14, tunnles came up right away .
