Source interface and management VRF compatibility

A source interface must be configured for management applications. When a source interface is configured, management applications use the lowest configured IP address of the specified interface as the source IP address in all the outgoing packets. If the configured interface is not part of the management VRF, the response packet does not reach the destination. If the compatibility check fails while either the management VRF or the source interface is being configured, the following warning message is displayed. However, the configuration command is accepted.

The source-interface for Telnet, TFTP is not part of the management-vrf
Note: The management source-interface command does not support the protocols like SNMP, NTP and all options that comes under the management interface configuration.
