Usage guidelines

The specified source address or the address of the specified source interface is used as the source address of tunneled packets. To view the configured tunnel source address, use the display interface tunnel command.

The source address of the local tunnel interface must be the destination address of the peer tunnel interface, and vice versa.

If you execute this command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.
