Mode

Exec > Global Configuration > Traffic Steering > Appliance Group

configure > traffic-steering > appliance-group

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt: 

[local]host_name(config-traffic-steering-app-grp)#

Syntax

ip address {ip_address(IPv4/IPv6) |  preserve-orig-addr }

address

Specifies the IP address; either IPv4 or IPv6.

preserve-orig-addr

This keyword when configured uses the same Destination IP as that of original packet.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to define the IP address of an external appliance. If you wish to use same IP addresses for both source and destination as that of the original packet, then you need to configure the preserve-orig-addr value for IP.


Note

You can configure either the IP address of the external appliance or preserve same IP addresses for both source and destination. Both the IP configurations do not work at the same time.

Example

The following command sets the IP address of an external appliance to 1.1.1.1 :
ip address 1.1.1.1
The following command sets the same Destination IP as that of original packet:
ip address preserve-orig-addr
