Nexus ip telnet source-interface command not working

[l.kellett]

                   Hi, I have configured the ip telnet source-interface Loopback 0 command on a Nexus7010, but when I telnet to another device and do a show users, the ip address is of the closest interface to the device I telnet to, not the ip address of the Loopback. All interfaces are in vrf default. I am running 5.1(6) NXOS.

ip telnet source-interface loopback0

telnet x.x.x.x vrf management

verify with

show users

What is the output of show users?

The output of the show users when doing a telnet from vrf management shows the mgmt0 interface ip address

Than your config may be wrong.  I just configured it on a 7K and it works as expected

can you post your config?

What version of nxos are you running?

6.1

Sorted it now, I had no ip domain-lookup configured, so turned on ip domain-lookup and it telnets from its loopback as expected
