Introduction
To improve security and make it easier to manage services, you can specify source IP
addresses/interfaces for Telnet clients.
Usually, VLAN interface IP addresses , management interface and Loopback interface IP addresses
are used as the source IP addresses of Telnet packets. After you specify the IP address of a VLAN
interface , management interface or a Loopback interface as the source IP address of Telnet packets, all
the packets exchanged between the Telnet client and the Telnet server use the IP address as their
source IP addresses, regardless of the ports through which they are transmitted. In such a way, the
actual IP addresses used are concealed. This helps to improve security. Specifying source IP
address/interfaces for Telnet packets also provides a way to successfully connect to servers that only
accept packets with specific source IP addresses.

The configuration can be performed in user view and system view. The configuration performed in user
view only applies to the current session. Whereas the configuration performed in system view applies to
all the subsequent sessions. Priority in user view is higher than that in system view.

Specifying source IP address/interface for Telnet packets in system view
Follow these steps to specify source IP address/interface for Telnet packets in system view:
To do...
Enter system view
Use the command...
telnet remote-system
[ port-number ] [ source { ip
ip-address | interface
interface-type
interface-number } ]
Use the command...
