Description

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I need to enable ECMP and Symmetric Return on the default Virtual Router with pan-os-python. This does not seem to be supported.

Describe the solution you'd like

Allow configuration with pan-os-python of the checkboxes in the GUI for Enabling ECMP and Symmetric Return for the default Virtual Router.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Manually implementing the configuration, but this is not scalable, and we need to automate the configuration.

Research direction

Start by locating the pan-os-python class or entry point that configures virtual routers and reviewing how existing routing options map to PAN-OS configuration. Compare that interface with the default Virtual Router settings for ECMP and Symmetric Return. Done means both settings can be configured through the SDK and their resulting device configuration is verified.
