Specifying a global source address for VXLAN tunnels

IMPORTANT:

For correct VXLAN deployment and VTEP management, do not manually specify tunnel-specific source addresses for VXLAN tunnels if OVSDB is used.

The VTEP reports the global VXLAN tunnel source address to the controller for VXLAN tunnel setup.

To specify a global source address for VXLAN tunnels:

Step	Command	Remarks
1. Enter system view.	system-view	N/A
