ip local interface

ip local interface

To configure the IP address of the provider edge (PE) router interface to be used as the source IP address
for sending tunneled packets, use the ip local interface command in the pseudowire-class configuration
mode. To remove the IP address, use the no form of this command.

ip local interface interface-name

no ip local interface interface-name

Syntax Description

Defaults

No IP address is configured.

Command Modes

Pseudowire-class configuration

Command History

Usage Guidelines

Use the same local interface name for all pseudowire-classes configured between a pair of PE routers. It
is highly recommended that you configure a loopback interface with this command. If you do not, the
router chooses the “best available local address,” which could be any IP address configured on a
core-facing interface. This configuration could prevent a control channel from being established.

Note

This command must be configured for pseudowire-class configurations using L2TPv3 as the data
encapsulation method.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure the IP address of the local loopback 0 as the source IP
address for sending packets through an L2TPv3 session:

Router# config t

Router(config)# pseudowire-class l2tp

Router(config-pw-class)# ip local interface loopback 0

Router(config-pw-class)# exit

Router(config)# exit

interface-name

Name of the PE interface whose IP address is used as the source IP address
for sending tunneled packets over a Layer 2 PW.
