Junos OS

I'm trying to configure Per-Packet Load Balancing export policy as per juniper.net/techpubs/en_US/junos14.2/topics/usage-guidelines/policy-configuring-per-packet-load-balancing.html  at the "routing-instances VRF routing-options forwarding-table" level, but the syntax doesn't appear to be available for me...

I'm running 14.2R2.8 on an MX48, with dual routing engines (RE-S-2000).

# show policy-options policy-statement load-balancing
from {
    route-filter 10.195.254.141/32 exact;
}
then {
    load-balance per-packet;
}


# set routing-instances VRF routing-options forwarding-table ?
Possible completions:
+ apply-groups         Groups from which to inherit configuration data
+ apply-groups-except  Don't inherit configuration data from these groups
  unicast-reverse-path  Unicast reverse path (RP) verification

Does anyone have any suggestions? The only ospf route that I want to load-balance is within a specific routing-instance.

Thanks,

Check the route next-hops before and after adding the export policy in the "set routing-options forwarding-table export":

show route forwarding-table family inet destination 10.195.254.141

You can't apply the export policy to routing-instances.

Thanks, that seems to work - not sure why the documentation says that you can put the policy under a routing instance.

I've applied the export policy in the base and can now see both next hops in the forwarding-table, but it doesn't show both routes as being 'selected' in the show route - is this behaviour correct/expected?

Yes, it's the expected output.
