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[/subport] 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 ICMP, a user can specify one source-interface for each VRF and
let it be the default, management or any other VRF created. For other
