You can specify the source interface and source IP address for the device acting as an FTP client, so 

that it can connect to a remote FTP server. 

Follow these steps to specify the source interface and source IP address for an FTP client: 

Specify the source interface 
used for the current connection 

ftp { cluster | remote-server } 
source-interface 
interface-type interface-number

Optional 

Specify the source IP address 
used for the current connection 

ftp { cluster | remote-server } 
source-ip ip-address 

Optional 

Enter system view 

— 

Specify an interface as the 
source interface the FTP client 
uses every time it connects to 
an FTP server 

ftp source-interface 
interface-type interface-number

Specify an IP address as the 
source IP address the FTP 
client uses every time it 
connects to an FTP server 

ftp source-ip ip-address 

Use either command 

Not specified by default 

Display the source IP address 
used by an FTP client every 
time it connects to an FTP 
server

z 

The specified interface must be an existing one. Otherwise a prompt appears to show that the 

configuration fails. 

z 

The value of the ip-address argument must be the IP address of the device where the configuration 

is performed. Otherwise a prompt appears to show that the configuration fails. 

z 

The source interface/source IP address set for one connection is prior to the fixed source 

interface/source IP address set for each connection. That is, for a connection between an FTP 

client and an FTP server, if you specify the source interface/source IP address used for the 

connection this time, and the specified source interface/source IP address is different from the 

fixed one, the former will be used for the connection this time. 

z 

Only one fixed source interface or source IP address can be set for the FTP client at one time. That 

is, only one of the commands ftp source-interface and ftp source-ip can be valid at one time. If 

you execute both of them, the new setting will overwrite the original one. 

 

As shown in 

, the switching engine operates as an FTP server and a remote PC as an FTP 

client. The configuration file config.cfg of the switching engine is stored on the PC. Upload the 

configuration file to the remote switching engine through FTP and use the startup
