Parameters
interface-type: Type of the source interface, which can be VLAN interface or loopback interface.
interface-number: Number of the source interface.
Description
Use the ftp source-interface command to specify a source interface as the source interface the switch
uses every time it connects to an FTP server, and the configuration will be saved to the configuration
file of the system.
Use the undo ftp source-interface command to cancel the source interface setting. After you execute
this command, the FTP client system decides which interface will be used for accessing FTP servers.
By default, the switch uses the IP address of the outbound interface in the local routing table as the
source IP address for connecting to an FTP server. The destination of the outbound interface is the
subnet where the FTP server resides.
To configure the source interface used only for the current connection to an FTP server, use the ftp
{ cluster | remote-server } source-interface command.
Examples
# Specify VLAN-interface 1 as the source interface to be used in each connection between the switch
and an FTP server.
