To specify a source IP address or interface for the client:

Step	Command	Remarks
1. Enter system view.	system-view	N/A
2. Specify a source IP address or interface for the SSH client.	Specify a source IPv4 address or interface for the SSH client:ssh client source { ip ip-address \| interface interface-type interface-number } Specify a source IPv6 address or interface for the SSH client:ssh client ipv6 source { ipv6 ipv6-address \| interface interface-type interface-number }	Select either approach. By default, an SSH client uses the IP address of the outbound interface defined by the route to the SSH server to access the SSH server.
