I have three static routes to reaching my bgp Neighbour via ipsec tunnel by using ike/32 injection with same AD,metric and priority how fortigate will select the best path for bgp control plane message.

Solved! Go to Solution.
Since those are three static routes for the same destination, it would be load balanced based on "v4-ecmp-mode" setting under "config sys settings". But once the first packet establishes a session I wouldn't expect the path changes unless the session times out.

Hi @sk4 ,
can you share the routing table output
get router info routing-table details x.x.x.x >> where x.x.x.x is the neighbor IP and let me know which interface it should take

Thanks for sharing this. but incase of SDWAN enabled, "v4-ecmp-mode" setting under "config sys settings" is not available as its moved under config system sdwan under set load-balance-mode.

I see. You never mentioned you use SD-WAN.
Or, maybe my knowledge is old and all FGTs now have SD-WAN enabled and the balancing setting is under SD-WAN config by default.
