Description

Use sftp client ipv6 source to specify the source IPv6 address or source interface for an SFTP client.

Use undo sftp client ipv6 source to remove the configuration.

By default, an SFTP client uses the IPv6 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.
