ip local interface
ip local interface
To configure the IP address of the provider edge (PE) router interface to be used as the source IP address
for sending tunneled packets, use the
ip local interface
command in the pseudowire-class configuration
mode. To remove the IP address, use the
no
form of this command.
ip local interface
interface-name
no ip local interface
interface-name
Syntax Description
Defaults
No IP address is configured.
Command Modes
Pseudowire-class configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Use the same local interface name for all pseudowire-classes configured between a pair of PE routers. It
is highly recommended that you configure a loopback interface with this command. If you do not, the
router chooses the “best available local address,” which could be any IP address configured on a
core-facing interface. This configuration could prevent a control channel from being established.
Note
This command must be configured for pseudowire-class configurations using L2TPv3 as the data
encapsulation method.
Examples
The following example shows how to configure the IP address of the local loopback 0 as the source IP
address for sending packets through an L2TPv3 session:
Router#
config t
Router(config)#
pseudowire-class l2tp
Router(config-pw-class)#
ip local interface loopback 0
Router(config-pw-class)#
exit
Router(config)#
exit
interface-name
Name of the PE interface whose IP address is used as the source IP address
for sending tunneled packets over a Layer 2 PW.
