Description
Use ssh client source to specify the source IPv4 address or source interface of the SSH client.
Use undo ssh client source to remove the configuration.
By default, an SSH client uses the IP 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.
