If you have configured a tunnel interface or destination address, the tunnel source must be compatible for
this command to function. If you configure the tunnel source address as an interface, the tunnel does not
function unless a compatible address is present on the specified interface.
If you configure the tunnel source address as tunnel source interface, the lowest address is
used. This address is not changed even if you configure a lower address on the selected interface. To
change the selected address, reload or recreate the tunnel or remove the selected address from the
interface.
