When logging into the SSH server using public key authentication, an SSH client needs to read the local
private key for authentication. As two algorithms (RSA or DSA) are available, the identity-key keyword
must be used to specify one algorithm in order to get the correct private key.

Specifying a Source IP address/Interface for the SSH client

This configuration task allows you to specify a source IP address or interface for the client to access the
SSH server, improving service manageability.
Follow these steps to specify a source IP address/interface for the SSH client:
To do… Use the command… Remarks
Enter system view system-view —
Specify a source IP address
for the SSH client. ssh2 source-ip ip-address Required
By default, the system determines a
source IP address.
Specify a source interface
for the SSH client
ssh2 source-interface
interface-type
interface-number
Required
By default, the system determines a
source IP address.
