<interface> Enter the interface to be used as the source IP address for event log traffic.

Default Values

No default value is necessary for this command.

Command Modes

(config)# Global Configuration Mode required

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

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

(config)#logging forwarding source-interface loopback 1
