  'add-path'
    Send path count can not exceeds 6 without multipath or path-selection-mode
error: configuration check-out failed

Solution

RLI31814 introduced multipath and path-selection-mode to : 
  • Allows to send up to 64 add-path routes including multipath routes with one or two backup paths.​

  • Add one path selection mode “all-paths” to advertise up to 64 available paths.
