By default, the router cannot

Specifying the source address of TCP connections
By default, BGP uses the primary IP/IPv6 address of the output interface in the optimal route to a peer or
peer group as the source address of TCP connections to the peer or peer group. You can change the
source address in the following scenarios:
• If the peer's IP/IPv6 address belongs to an interface indirectly connected to the local router, you
must specify that interface as the source interface for TCP connections on the peer. For example,
interface A on the local end is directly connected to interface B on the peer. If you use the peer
x.x.x.x as-number as-number command and x.x.x.x is not the IP address of interface B on the local
end, you must use the peer connect-interface command on the peer to specify the interface whose
IP address is x.x.x.x as the source interface.
