IPv6 Unicast ECMP

Hello,

I have two ASR9k border ("CE") routers that have a BGP peering relationship with each other.  Downstream, I have a Catalyst 6807 (Sup2T-XL) Core router with a BGP-enabled link to each border.

ASR9k#1 === ASR9k#2

      \    /

   Catalyst 6807

The ASRs both default-originate to the core, bot not to each other (and certainly not to my ISPs).  If I log in to ASR#1, enter the BGP neighbor configuration mode, and enter "shut" on the neighbor to the core, I see the 6807 populate the RIB/FIB with a default route to ASR#2.  If I re-enable the neighbor on ASR#1 and then shutdown the neighbor within ASR#2, I see the default route populate to ASR#1.

So, I show that the 6807 is seeing the route to both devices.

Problem: with all neighbor relationships "no shutdown", I only see a single default route from the 6807 to one of the the ASRs.  I'm not seeing ECMP.  Here's a sample route display, with all neighbors "up":

6807-core>sh bgp ipv6 unicast neighbors 2610:58:FFF:13:128:197:254:122 routes | include ::/0

*>i ::/0             2610:58:FFF:13:128:197:254:122

6807-core>sh bgp ipv6 unicast neighbors 2610:58:FFF:3d:128:197:254:118 routes | include ::/0

I see the same effect with the point-to-point subnet between the two routers; since I'm redistributing local, I should see ECMP there but I only see one route.  Is there anything I can check, to fix ECMP?

I looked at this, but it only talks to how to enable IPv4 ECMP, there was no comperable "platform" command for IPv6: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/catalyst-6800-series-switches/guide-c07-733457.html#_Toc406542451

Ha.  Wouldn't you know it, I've been looking for the answer now for 2 days and as soon I post this note I stumble across it - from the Nexus 7000 configuration guide, no less!

on 6807-core:

router bgp 111
