Follow these steps to specify the source interface and source IP address for an FTP client:
To do… Use the command… Remarks
Specify the source interface used
for the current connection
ftp { cluster | remote-server }
source-interface interface-type
interface-number Optional
Specify the source IP address
used for the current connection ftp { cluster | remote-server }
source-ip ip-address
Optional
Enter system view system-view —
Specify an interface as the source
interface the FTP client uses every
time it connects to an FTP server
ftp source-interface
interface-type interface-number
Specify an IP address as the
source IP address the FTP client
uses every time it connects to an
FTP server
ftp source-ip ip-address
Use either command
Not specified by default
Display the source IP address
used by an FTP client every time it
connects to an FTP server
display ftp source-ip Available in any view
z
The specified interface must be an existing one. Otherwise a prompt appears to show that the
configuration fails.
z
The value of the ip-address argument must be the IP address of the device where the configuration
is performed. Otherwise a prompt appears to show that the configuration fails.
z
The source interface/source IP address set for one connection is prior to the fixed source
interface/source IP address set for each connection. That is, for a connection between an FTP
client and an FTP server, if you specify the source interface/source IP address used for the
connection this time, and the specified source interface/source IP address is different from the
fixed one, the former will be used for the connection this time.
z
Only one fixed source interface or source IP address can be set for the FTP client at one time. That
is, only one of the commands ftp source-interface and ftp source-ip can be valid at one time. If
you execute both of them, the new setting will overwrite the original one.
Configuration Example: The Device Operating as an FTP Server
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 49-3 , the switching engine operates as an FTP server and a remote PC as an FTP
client. The configuration file config.cfg of the switching engine is stored on the PC. Upload the
configuration file to the remote switching engine through FTP and use the startup
saved-configuration command to specify config.cfg as the main configuration file for next startup and
then reboot the device.
z
Create a user account on the FTP server with the user name “switch” and password “hello”.
