Configuring Routing Interface Settings
About Loopback Versus VLAN Interfaces
Loopback
interfaces
are
different
from
VLAN
routing
interfaces
because
they
allow
you
to
disconnect
the
operation
of
routing
protocols
from
network
hardware
operation,
improving
the
reliability
of
IP
connections.
A
loopback
interface
is
always
reachable.
The
IP
address
assigned
to
the
loopback
interface
is
used
as
the
router
ID,
which
helps
when
running
protocols
like
OSPF,
because
OSPF
can
be
running
even
when
the
outbound
interface
is
down.
IP
packets
routed
to
the
loopback
interface
are
rerouted
back
to
the
router
or
access
server
and
processed
locally.
Routing
interface
configuration
commands
in
this
guide
will
configure
either
a
VLAN
or
loopback
interface,
depending
on
your
choice
of
parameters,
as
shown
in
Table 16
