source-address

Last Updated : Nov 06, 2012 |

Sets the source IP address for an RTR operation. Use no source-address to restore the default setting, which is to use the output interface’s IP address.

Note:

Run the type command to define the RTR operation’s probing method and the IP address of the remote device before using this command.

By default, the source-address command is disabled, and RTR operations use the output interface’s address.
