SSH using source interface gi0/1

[getaway51]

In cisco router, Is it possible to ssh using source interface or source ip address just like telnet ip /source-interface?

ciscoswitch#telnet 10.14.2.1 /source-interface gi0/1

You have to go into configuration mode: conf t

Hi Paul, 

So , is this going to be  like a permanent configuration?

Every time I SSH to another network device this source interface I configured (for example Loopback 0) will be the source of my SSH connection?

Thanks,

If you start with config t and then enter the command ip ssh source-interface x/x and remember to copy run start then this is a permanent change and will specify the source address for any SSH initiated from this device.

Thanks Richard. I tried it yesterday and it worked. I was doing an ASA firewall configuration where I applied a policy that only SSH from a specific loopback interface would be allowed and was wondering how to do that. This post helped me do it.
