	for all packets transmitted on this interface (for example: 192.22.73.101).
<interface>	Specifies the interface (in the format type <slot/port>) that contains the IP address
	to use as the source address for all packets transmitted on this interface.

Until a tunnel interface has a source IP address defined and the physical interface used as the source is operational, the tunnel is not operational.

The tunnel source IP address will be the value put into the source field of the outer IP header after GRE encapsulation of the original packet.
