address for FTP traffic transmitted by the unit. Use the no form of this command if you do not wish to
override the normal source IP address.

Default Values

Applicable Platforms
This command applies to the NetVanta 300, 1000, 1000R, 2000, 3000, 4000, and 5000 and
Total Access 900 Series units.
Command History
Release 6.1 Command was introduced.
Release 9.1 Command expanded to include HDLC interface.
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
The following example configures the unit to use the loopback 1 interface as the source IP for FTP traffic:
(config)#ip ftp source-interface loopback 1
