terminal connection from a different local IP other than the primary IP

  • 772

I have ~20 public IP addresses defined on my server. Now, when I connect to a remote server via terminal, it gets connected from the primary IP of my server.

But I want to use terminal from my another IP address. Is this possible?

    If you are using ssh to connect to the remote host then you can use the BindAddress directive to specify a local address to us for the connection

    BindAddress Use the specified address on the local machine as the source address of the connection. Only useful on systems with more than one address. Note that this option does not work if UsePrivilegedPort is set to “yes”.

    You can use this like so

    ssh [email protected] -o BindAddress=ip.add.re.ss

    You can also configure your ~/.ssh/config file to do this on a per host basis.

    Host remote.tld
    BindAddress ip.add.re.ss

Host another
    BindAddress ss.er.dda.pi

    Note that the Host matched has to be the same as that specified on the command line but you can use wildcards.

    If you're using telnet then use the -b switch

    -b address Use bind(2) on the local socket to bind it to a specific local address.

    telnet -b ip.add.re.ss remote.tld
