# ECMP configuration using Enterprise Device Manager

This chapter describes the procedure you can use to configure Equal Cost MultiPath (ECMP) using Enterprise Device Manager (EDM).

The ECMP feature allows routers to determine equal cost paths to the same destination prefix. The multiple paths can be used for load sharing of traffic and allows faster convergence to other active paths in case of network failure.

Important

Although ECMP can function in a mixed stack environment, the Avaya ERS 5510 does not support ECMP, so the ECMP feature cannot run on any Avaya ERS 5510 units in a mixed stack.

## Prerequisites

- Install the Advanced License.

- Enable IP routing globally on the switch.

- Configure routing (RIP, OSPF,BGP, or static routes) on the switch.
