Syslog packets
To specify the lowest-numbered IP address configured on a virtual interface as the device source for
all Syslog packets, enter commands such as the following.
device(config)# interface ve 1
device(config-vif-1)# ip address 10.0.0.4/24
device(config-vif-1)# exit
device(config)# ip syslog source-interface ve 1
The commands in this example configure virtual interface 1, assign IP address 10.0.0.4/24 to the
interface, then designate the interface's address as the source address for all Syslog packets.
Syntax: [no] ip syslog source-interface ethernet { [slotnum/]portnum | loopback num | venum }
The slotnum variable is required on chassis devices.
The portnum variable is a valid port number.
The num variable is a loopback interface or virtual interface number.
The default is the lowest-numbered IP or IPv6 address configured on the port through which the
packet is sent. The address therefore changes, by default, depending on the port.
SNTP packets
To specify the lowest-numbered IP address configured on a virtual interface as the device source for
all SNTP packets, enter commands such as the following.
device(config)# interface ve 1
device(config-vif-1)# ip address 10.0.0.5/24
device(config-vif-1)# exit
device(config)# ip sntp source-interface ve 1
The commands in this example configure virtual interface 1, assign IP address 10.0.0.5/24 to the
interface, then designate the interface's address as the source address for all SNTP packets.
Syntax: no ip sntp source-interface ethernet { [slotnum/]portnum | loopbacknum | venum }
The slotnum variable is required on chassis devices.
The portnum variable is a valid port number.
The num variable is a loopback interface or virtual interface number.
The default is the lowest-numbered IP or IPv6 address configured on the port through which the
packet is sent. The address therefore changes, by default, depending on the port.
SSH packets
NOTE
When you specify a single SSH source, you can use only that source address to establish SSH
management sessions with the Brocade device.
To specify the numerically lowest IP address configured on a loopback interface as the device source
for all SSH packets, enter commands such as a the following.
device(config)# interface loopback 2
device(config-lbif-2)# ip address 10.0.0.2/24
device(config-lbif-2)# exit
device(config)# ip ssh source-interface loopback 2
