Specifying a source IP address or source interface for the SFTP client
When an SFTP client accesses the SFTP server, the SFTP client uses the IP address of the outbound interface as the source IP address by default. The SFTP client determines the outbound interface based on the routing table lookup. You can change the source IP address or specify a source interface for the client.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you specify a loopback interface as the source interface for the SFTP client for the following purposes:
Ensuring the communication between the SFTP client and the SFTP server.
Improving the manageability of SFTP clients in the authentication service.
