Configuring IP IP Forwarding

Configuring an IP Managed Interface

By default, most applications that run on IP use the egress IP interface address as the source IP, while

using a socket to communicate with a peer/server. However, it may be desirable to have some applications

use a specific source IP for the packets that are sent out using the socket.

The ip service source-ip command provides the ability to configure a permanent source IP interface to

send packets. The source IP interface can be the Loopback0 address or user defined IP interface. For

example,

The following commands create a Loopback0 interface and configures that interface as a source IP

interface for the NTP application:

-> ip interface Loopback0 address 10.10.1.1

-> ip service source-ip loopback0 ntp

The following command configures user-defined source IP interface for the FTP application:

-> ip service source-ip ipVlan100 ftp

A source IP address is configurable for the following applications within the VRF context:

Notes.

• Use the “all” option in the command to configure a common source IP address for the applications. If

for a particular application, specific source IP address is configured and the “all” option is also set, the

configured source IP address for the application is used as the outgoing interface.

• If a source IP interface is not defined for an application, the application uses the outgoing interface

address as the source IP.
