Operation Command Description
Display the source IP
address so that the FTP
client always uses it to
connect with an FTP
server
display ftp source-ip
This command can be
executed in any view.
Note:
z The specified interface must be an existing one, and otherwise a prompt appears
to show the configuration fails.
z The value of argument ip-address must be the IP address of the device where the
configuration is performed, and otherwise a prompt appears to show the
configuration fails.
z The latest connection setting is prior to the fixed setting. That is, if you specify the
source IP address or source interface that the FTP client uses to connect with an
FTP server, and the IP address or interface is different from that the FTP client
always uses to connect to an FTP server, the former will be used for the next
connection.
z Only one of the source interface or source IP address can be set for the FTP client
at one time. That is, only one of the commands source-interface and ftp-server
source-ip can be effective at one time. If you execute both of them, the new
setting will overwrite the original one.
1.1.5 Configuration Example: A Switch Operating as an FTP Client
I. Network requirements
A switch operates as an FTP client and a remote PC as an FTP server.
z Create a user account on the FTP server with the user name “switch” and
password “hello”, and authorize the user “switch” with read and write
permissions on the directory named “Switch” on the PC.
z Configure the IP address 1.1.1.1 for a VLAN interface on the switch, and 2.2.2.2
for the PC. Ensure the route between the two is reachable.
The switch application named switch.bin is stored on the PC. Download it to the
switch through FTP to upgrade the switch application, and upload the switch
configuration file named vrpcfg.cfg to the PC to backup the configuration file.
