ip icmp source-interface
Enable the ICMP error and unreachable messages to be sent with the source interface IP address, such as the loopback address, instead of
the hops of the preceding devices along the network path to be used for easy debugging and diagnosis of network disconnections and
reachability problems with IPv4 packets.
Syntax
ip icmp source-interface interface
Parameters
interface Enter one of the following keywords and slot/port or number information:
• For a Management Ethernet interface, enter the keyword managementethernet.
NOTE: When you congure the capability to enable the loopback IP
address to be sent for easy debugging and diagnosis (IP addresses of
the devices for which the ICMP source interface is congured), the
source IP address of the outgoing ICMP error message is modied,
although the packets are not sent out using the congured interface.
Because the management interface is congured without any
parameters such as the IP address, it is treated to the management
interface of the primary unit or the existing unit.
• For a Loopback interface, enter the keyword loopback. The range is from 0 to
16383.
• For a Port Channel interface, enter the keywords port-channel then a number.
The range is from 1 to 128.
• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet.
• For a VLAN interface, enter the keyword vlan. The range is from 1 to 4094.
Defaults Not congured.

Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
9.3(0.0) Introduced on the MXL platform.
Usage Information You can enable the mechanism to congure the source or the originating interface from which the packet (the
device that generates the ICMP error messages) is received by the switch to send the loopback address instead of
