Parameters

interface interface-type interface-number: Specifies an interface by its type and number. The device will use the interface's IPv6 address as the source address. For successful FTP packet transmission, make sure the interface is up and is configured with an IPv6 address.

ipv6 source-ipv6-address: Specifies an IPv6 address. For successful FTP packet transmission, make sure this address is the IPv6 address of an interface in up state on the device.

Usage guidelines

If you execute this command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.

The source address specified with the ftp ipv6 command takes precedence over the source address specified with the ftp client ipv6 source command.

The source address specified with the ftp client ipv6 source command applies to all FTP connections. The source address specified with the ftp ipv6 command applies only to the FTP connection that is being established.

Examples

# Specify the source IPv6 address of 2000::1 for FTP packets sent to an IPv6 FTP server.
