ip ip-address: Specifies a source IPv4 address.

interface interface-type interface-number: Specifies a source interface by its type and number.

Description

Use sftp client source to specify the source IPv4 address or interface of an SFTP client.

Use undo sftp client source to remove the configuration.

By default, an SFTP client uses the IP address of the interface specified by the route of the device to access the SFTP server.

To make sure the SFTP client and the SFTP server can communicate with each other, and to improve the manageability of SFTP clients in the authentication service, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends you specify a loopback interface as the source interface.
