The IP address can only be the IP address of a Layer 3 interface on the switch.Figure 7-1 Specify source IP address for Telnet service packetsAs shown in Figure 7-1, suppose you are going to telnet to Switch B from PC. If devices in the segment192.168.1.0/24 are not allowed to telnet to Switch B, you can log in to Switch A (an S5600 Ethernetswitch) first, configure the source IP address of the Telnet service packets on Switch A as 192.168.2.5,and then log in to Switch B through Switch A.Configuring Source IP Address for Telnet Service PacketsThe feature of configuring source IP address for Telnet service packets can be configured in either userview or system view.The configuration performed in user view takes effect for only the current sessionThe configuration performed in system view takes effect for all the following sessions. That is, when aswitch telnets to a remote device, it automatically uses the configured source IP address or sourceinterface to encapsulate Telnet service packets.Use the following commands to configure a source IP address or source interface for Telnet servicepackets:To do… Use the command… Remarkstelnet { hostname | ip-address } [ service-port ] { source-ipip-address | source-interface interface-type interface-number }system-viewSpecify a source IPaddress or sourceinterface for Telnet servicepackets for an S5600switch serving as a Telnetclient telnet { source-ip ip-address | source-interface interface-typeinterface-number }RequiredUse eitherapproach
