Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 9.0.
Description
For unnumbered Ethernet interfaces configured with a loopback interface as the donor interface, specify one of the loopback interface’s secondary addresses as the preferred source address for the unnumbered Ethernet interface. Configuring the preferred source address enables you to use an IP address other than the primary IP address on some of the unnumbered Ethernet interfaces in your network.
Configuration of a preferred source address for unnumbered Ethernet interfaces is supported for the IPv4 and IPv6 address families.
Options
address—Secondary IP address of the donor loopback interface.
