Objective
There might be use business cases to exempt subnets on network environments where the Equal Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) feature is implemented, and make them use a static route path, however, under Network - Virtual Routers - Router Settings - ECMP there is no configuration that we can configure to set up exceptions.
Environment
- Palo Alto Networks Firewalls
- PAN-OS 9.1.9 or higher version.
Procedure
Configure a Policy-Based Forwarding (PBF) policy for the subnet in question to bypass the routing table and use the policy instead.
