Docs seem to indicate that the source IP of host-initiated traffic is the fxp0 interface when you set default-address-selection and the egress interface is fxp0. Lo0 is used if traffic goes out a routed interface (e.g. when doing inline management).
http://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos13.2/topics/reference/configuration-statement/default-address-selection-edit-system.html If not, may be a bug; what's your code version? Another option that springs to mind and that's to put the [edit system syslog] source-address value of fxp0 of RE1 under your re1 apply-group. That may supersede default-address-selection. /Chris On Mon, Aug 31, 2015, at 06:40 PM, Michael Hare wrote: > Hello- > > I know there have been a million threads on this topic, but I don't see > this particular variant being discussed. > > To date we have managed our Juniper devices inline [via lo0, default > address selection] instead of via fxp.
