Can we configure ECMP in FTD for making both WAN links useable

[King_1988]

Hi,

We have FTD-1000 and two ISPs are connected which we have configured IP SLA as Active-Standby links with setting administration distance for default route. Now we want to make both ISP links in use not active-standby. There is an option ECMP, can we use this option for purpose and how to configure it?

@King_1988 you configure traffic zones to use ECMP. Example: https://integratingit.wordpress.com/2024/03/10/ftd-traffic-zones-ecmp/

One ISP has 200 Mbps and other ISP has 100Mbps.

Can ECMP work properly here? Or is there any way we can aggregate the bandwidth of both ISPs?

@King_1988 look at application based routing - https://secure.cisco.com/secure-firewall/v7.2/docs/policy-based-routing-with-path-monitoring This will work if the FTD is managed by an FMC only, and will not work if managed by FDM.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the info. Is there any other way to solve this issue for FDM?
