Hi,

To enable bgp multipath you would need to issue the command stated here, https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-ECMP-routes-for-recursive-BGP-next-hop-resolution/ta-p/191461

config router bgp
set ibgp-multipath enable
end

Hi,

By default multipath is disabled, you can refer to the below kb on how to enable multipath:

https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-Usage-of-BGP-multipath-and-description-of-the-BGP/ta-p/195919

After enabling multipath make sure that the attributes are the same so both routes will be installed in the routing table.
