Description

Use ssh client ipv6 source to specify the source IPv6 address or source interface for the SSH client.

Use undo ssh client ipv6 source to remove the configuration.

By default, an SSH client uses the IPv6 address of the interface specified by the route of the device to access the SSH server.

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