Agentd.conf:
SourceIP=10.11.11.13

zabbix agentd.logfile:

NOTE: For agent: Passive checks work, but active don't.

SENDER

./zabbix_sender -z zabbix_server -s test1 -I 10.11.11.13 -k system.hostname -o test1 -vv
zabbix_sender [692404]: DEBUG: send value error: bind() failed: [68] Can't assign requested address
Sending failed. Use option -vv for more detailed output.

./zabbix_sender -z zabbix_server -s test1 -k system.hostname -o test1 -vv
zabbix_sender [2973764]: DEBUG: answer [

]

Maybe it is the similar problem like this https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6970

Agnet with SourceIP.
It is netstat -aon output

Start agent WITHOUT SourceIP,

Binding SSH daemon on this interface works without problem: 

May 15 15:42:40 test1 auth|security:info sshd[151684]: Received signal 15; terminating. 
May 15 15:42:45 test1 auth|security:info sshd[151688]: Server listening on 10.11.11.13 port 22.

A fix in development branch svn://svn.zabbix.com/branches/dev/ZBX-6605 rev.35779 works for Zabbix sender. Need to test it with Zabbix agent.

Available in the development branch svn://svn.zabbix.com/branches/dev/ZBX-6605

Successfully tested. I propose to clean out the whole structure before using it as it is done in case of IPv6 version of zbx_tcp_connect(), please review the changes in r35954.

andris Thanks, accepted.
