Loopback and null interface configuration 

Loopback interface 

Introduction to loopback interface 

A loopback interface is a software-only virtual interface. It delivers the following benefits. 

•

 

The physical layer state and link-layer protocols of a loopback interface are always up unless the 
loopback interface is manually shut down.  

•

 

To save IP address resources, you can assign an IP address with an all-F mask to a loopback 

interface. When you assign an IPv4 address whose mask is not 32-bit, the system automatically 
changes the mask into a 32-bit mask. When you assign an IPv6 address whose mask is not 128-bit, 

the system automatically changes the mask into a 128-bit mask.  

•

 

You can enable routing protocols on a loopback interface, and a loopback interface can send and 
receive routing protocol packets. 

Because of the benefits mentioned above, loopback interfaces are widely used in the following 

scenarios. 
You can configure a loopback interface address as the source address of the IP packets that the switch 

generates. Because loopback interface addresses are stable unicast addresses, they are usually used as 
device identifications. When you configure a rule on an authentication or security server to permit or 

deny packets that a switch generates, you can simplify the rule by configuring it to permit or deny packets 

that carry the loopback interface address that identifies the switch. When you use a loopback interface 

address as the source address of IP packets, be sure to perform any necessary routing configuration to 

ensure that the route from the loopback interface to the peer is reachable. All data packets sent to the 

loopback interface are treated as packets sent to the switch itself, so the switch does not forward these 
packets. 

Configuring a loopback interface 

Follow these steps to configure a loopback interface: 

To do… 

Use the command…
