Command Reference Guide

tunnel source

Use the tunnel source command to specify the IP address or name of a physical interface to use as the
source address for all packets transmitted on this interface. Use the no form of this command to clear the
tunnel source address. Variations of this command include:
tunnel source <ip address>
tunnel source <ip address> <interface>
Syntax Description
<ip address>
<interface>
Default Values
By default, a tunnel source is not defined.
Command History
Release 9.1
Release 11.1
Release A4.01
Functional Notes
Until a tunnel interface has a source IP address defined and the physical interface used as the source is
operational, the tunnel is not operational.
The tunnel source IP address will be the value put into the source field of the outer IP header after generic
routing encapsulation (GRE) of the original packet.
60000CRG0-35E
Specifies the IP address in dotted decimal notation to use as the source
address for all packets transmitted on this interface. IP addresses should be
expressed in dotted decimal notation (for example, 10.10.10.1).
Specifies the interface that contains the IP address to use as the source
address for all packets transmitted on this interface. 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 tunnel source ? for
a complete list of valid interfaces.
Command was introduced.
