Loopback interfaces
Loopback interfaces are defined in exactly the same way as Ethernet interfaces. Read
the section above.
Note: There is no software limitation as to how many loopback interfaces can exist on
the router.
An example showing a partial uci export of a loopback interface configuration is shown
below.
root@VA_router:~# uci export network
…..
config interface 'loopback'
option proto 'static'
option ifname 'lo'
option ipaddr '127.0.0.1'
option netmask '255.0.0.0'

Configuring port map using the web interface
The new logical Ethernet interface needs to be mapped to a physical switch port. To
configure the Ethernet switch physical port to logical interface mappings, go to the Port
Map section at Network->Interfaces.
