source address for all packets transmitted on this interface. Use the no form of this command to clear the
tunnel source address.
Syntax Description
<ip address> Specifies the IP address in dotted decimal notation to use as the source address
for all packets transmitted on this interface (for example: 192.22.73.101).
<interface> Specifies the interface (in the format type <slot/port>) that contains the IP address
to use as the source address for all packets transmitted on this interface.
Default Values
By default, a tunnel source is not defined.
Applicable Platforms
This command applies to the NetVanta 300, 1000R, 2000, 3000, 4000, and 5000 and Total Access 900
Series units.
Command History
Release 9.1 Command was introduced.
Release 11.1 Command was expanded to include demand interfaces.
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 GRE
encapsulation of the original packet.
