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

configures the unit to use the loopback 1 interface as the source IP for FTP traffic:

(config)#ip ftp source-interface loopback 1
