ip tftp source-interface

Configures an interface as the source IP address from which TFTP sends and receives data and acknowledgments.
Syntax
ip tftp source-interface { ethernet stack-id/slot/port | loopback number | management number | ve number }
no ip tftp source-interface { ethernet stack-id/slot/port | loopback number | management number | ve number }
Command Default

A TFTP source interface is not configured.

When a management VRF is configured, TFTP sends and receives data and acknowledgments only through ports that belong to the management VRF and through the out-of-band management port.

Parameters
ethernet stack-id/slot/port
Specifies the Ethernet interface to be used as the source IP address.
loopback number
Specifies the loopback interface to be used as the source IP address.
management number
Specifies the management interface to be used as the source IP address.
ve number
Specifies the Virtual Ethernet interface to be used as the source IP address.
Modes

Global configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

Any change in the management VRF configuration takes effect immediately for TFTP. You cannot make changes in the management VRF configuration while TFTP is in progress.

The TFTP source interface configuration command ip tftp source-interface should be compatible with the management VRF configuration.

The no form of the command removes the configured interface as the source IP address.

Examples

The following example configures an Ethernet interface as the source IP address for TFTP to send and receive data and acknowledgments. 

device(config)# ip tftp source-interface ethernet 1/1/1

The following example configures a loopback interface as the source IP address for TFTP to send and receive data and acknowledgments. 

device(config)# ip tftp source-interface loopback 1
