if you do not wish to override the normal source IP address.

Functional Notes
This command allows you to override the sender field in the IP packet. If you have multiple interfaces in
your unit, changing the sender tells the receiver where to send replies. This functionality can also be used
to allow packets to get through firewalls that would normally block the flow.
Usage Examples
Configures the unit to use the loopback 1 interface as the source IP for event log traffic:
(config)#logging forwarding source-interface loopback 1
60000CRG0-35E
Specifies the interface to be used as the source IP address for event log
traffic. Specify an interface in the format <interface type [slot/port |
slot/port.subinterface id | interface id | interface id.subinterface id | ap |
ap/radio | ap/radio.vap]>. For example, for a T1 interface, use t1 0/1; for an
Ethernet subinterface, use eth 0/1.1; for a PPP interface, use ppp 1; for an
ATM subinterface, use atm 1.1; and for a wireless virtual access point, use
dot11ap 1/1.1. Type logging forwarding source-interface? for a
complete list of valid interfaces.
