Is it possible to have traceroute host and ping host default to using the interface the cli was connected to?
We have the Management Interface of our PA 500 set to an internal address, like 192.168.129.11. We can connect to it from our mpls network using the IP assigned to that interface, example: 10.129.1.11,
When we try a traceroute host or oping host the traffic uses the Management Interface gateway (192.168,129.1) instead of the gatesway of the mpls interface (10.129.1.1).
Is there a way to force those commands to use a different gateway/ethernet interface for egress?
TIA!

Hi Vince
yes there is, you can use the 'source' option to pick a source interface ip address (this needs to correspond to a configured ip address on a dataplane interface)
> ping source 192.168.0.1 host 4.2.2.2
hope this helps
