The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Information About VRF-Aware SCP
The secure copy protocol (SCP) feature allows a user with appropriate authorization to copy any file that exists in the Cisco IOS File System (IFS) to and from a device by using the copy command. Being Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) aware, the SCP feature can provide the service only to a specific group or interface rather than providing global access and configuration. The VRF-aware SCP feature enables administrators to have more control and added security.
SCP relies on Secure Shell (SSH) for security and authentication.
Use the ip ssh source-interface command to source SSH traffic from any interface, including a VRF interface.
