source

Function

The source command fills the source IP address into the IP header.

The undo source command deletes the source address.

Format

source { [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ]source-ip-address | interface-type interface-number | source-ipv6-address }

undo source [ source-ip-address | interface-type interface-number | source-ipv6-address ]

Parameters

Parameter Description Value
vpn-instance vpn-instance-name

指定Tunnel源地址所属的VPN实例名。当Tunnel为点到多点的GRE模式和IPSEC模式时可以指定该参数。

A string of 1 to 31 case-sensitive characters without any spaces. When double quotation marks are used around the string, spaces are allowed in the string.
source-ip-address

Specifies the source address of the tunnel interface in the root system.

It is in dotted decimal notation.
interface-type interface-number

Specifies the type and number of the source tunnel interface. The interface type can an Ethernet interface or loopback interface.

-
source-ipv6-address

Specifies the source address of a tunnel interface. If a tunnel interface works in IPv4-IPv6 mode, specify an IPv6 address as the source address of the tunnel interface.

A 32-digit hexadecimal number, in the format of X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X.

Usage Guidelines

By default, the source address of a tunnel is not specified.

The command can be executed only if the tunnel type of the tunnel interface is specified to be GRE, IPSec, IPv4 over IPv6 or IPv6 over IPv4.

When configuring the GRE, IPv6 over IPv4 tunnels, or IPv4 over IPv6 tunnels, you need to:

  • Create tunnel interfaces.

  • Use the source command to configure the source address of the tunnel, that is, the source IP address encapsulated in the packets over the tunnel.

The same source address and destination address cannot be configured on two or more tunnel interfaces using the same encapsulation protocol.

Example

# Configure the GRE tunnel, Tunnel 0, and specify the source IP address.

<sysname> system-view
[sysname] interface tunnel 0
[sysname-Tunnel0] tunnel-protocol gre
[sysname-Tunnel0] source 10.1.1.1
