Setting the Maximum Number of Equal-Cost Routes

By setting the maximum number of equal-cost RIP routes, you can change the number of routes for load balancing.

Access the system view.
```
system-view
```
Configure a RIP process and access the RIP process view.
```
rip [ process-id ]
```
Set the maximum number of equal-cost routes.
```
maximum load-balancing number
```
When the number of equal-cost routes is greater than number specified in the maximum load-balancing command, valid routes are selected for load balancing based on the following criteria:
1. Interface index: If routes have the same priorities, routes with higher interface index values are selected for load balancing.
2. Next hop IP address: If routes have the same priorities and interface index values, routes with larger IP address are selected for load balancing.
