To set the BGP multipath count, use the command maximum-paths in BGP Router Configuration Mode. This is the maximum number BGP multipath routes to be added per destination network in the routing table. Note that this configuration is effective only after hard/soft reset. The no form of the command resets the bgp multipath count to its default value.
