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 configure 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 configured), the source
IP address of the outgoing ICMP error message is modified, although
the packets are not sent out using the configured interface. Because the
management interface is configured 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 configured.
