Loopback Interfaces

A Loopback interface is a virtual interface in which the software emulates an interface. Packets routed to it are processed locally.

Because this interface is not a physical interface, you can configure routing protocols on this interface to provide protocol stability. You can place Loopback interfaces in default Layer 3 mode.

To configure, view, or delete a Loopback interface, use the following commands.

  • Enter a number as the Loopback interface.
    CONFIGURATION mode
    interface loopback number
    The range is from 0 to 16383.
  • View Loopback interface configurations.
    EXEC mode
    show interface loopback number
  • Delete a Loopback interface.
    CONFIGURATION mode
    no interface loopback number
Many of the commands supported on physical interfaces are also supported on a Loopback interface.
