ECMP Firepower device manager

Hello,

Can someone please advise if it is possible to configure ECMP static routes on FDM v6+? We can see on Cisco's config guide for the device manager that we can have up to 8 equal cost static routes per interface, however we are hitting an error notification that there is already an existing route with the same metric.

Kind regards,

Sara

Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) routing is introduced in FDM Version 7.0
You can configure ECMP traffic zones to contain multiple interfaces, which lets traffic from an existing connection exit or enter the FTD device on any interface within the zone. This capability allows Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) routing on the FTD device as well as external load balancing of traffic to the FTD device across multiple interfaces.

Thank you very much! It's all good now, we needed an upgrade for this feature.

Kind regards,
