Usage Guidelines
Use the ssh client source-interface command to set the IP address of the specified interface for all outgoing
SSH connections. If this command is not configured, TCP chooses the source IP address when the socket is
connected, based on the outgoing interface used—which in turn is based on the route required to reach the
server. This command applies to outbound shell over SSH as well as Secure Shell File Transfer Protocol
(SFTP) sessions, which use the ssh client as a transport.
The source-interface configuration affects connections only to the remote host in the same address family.
The system database (Sysdb) verifies that the interface specified in the command has a corresponding IP
address (in the same family) configured.
