Symptoms
The server periodically sends traffic from different IP addresses configured on the server.
Description
The source IP address for any traffic generated on a server will be the IP address on the interface through which the route to the destination is configured.
If a server has multiple default routes configured, the route traffic used will change based on the network conditions of the routes.
If the default route isn't configured with a specific interface, the default route can go through any interface or subinterface with an IP address in the same subnet as the gateway address.
Workaround
Ensure that a single default route is configured on the server and that the default route is configured through a specific interface.
Modifications to the server's default route should be performed by a qualified system administrator, as incorrectly configuring the default route can make the server inaccessible.
If you do not have such an administrator, you may search for one in our listings here:
