Parameters
interface interface-type interface-number: Specifies a source interface by its type and number. The SFTP client selects the interface's address that most specifically matches the destination address of outgoing SFTP packets as the source address of the SFTP packets.
ipv6 ipv6-address: Specifies a source IPv6 address.
Usage guidelines
This command takes effect on all IPv6 SFTP connections. The source IPv6 address specified in the sftp ipv6 command takes effect only on the current IPv6 SFTP connection. If you specify the source IPv6 address both in this command and the sftp ipv6 command, the source IPv6 address specified in the sftp ipv6 command takes effect.
If you execute this command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.
Examples
# Specify 2:2::2:2 as the source IPv6 address for SFTP packets.
<Sysname> system-view [Sysname] sftp client ipv6 source ipv6 2:2::2:2
