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

If you have found a solution, please like and accept it to make it easily accessible to others.

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.
