Configuring Loopback Interfaces

All CLI commands mentioned in this section are described in Chapter 6: X330WAN
CLI Commands
.
To configure Loopback interfaces:
1

Enter the Interface Loopback mode using the

interface Loopback

[<interface number>[.ip-interface]]

command.

For example:

typing

interface loopback 1

enters a context for configuring

the Loopback1 interface parameters.
The prompt changes to

X330WAN-2DS1-N(super-if:Loopbackn)#

where

N

is the switch number and

n

is the Loopback interface number.

2

Use the

ip address

<ip address> <mask>

command to assign an IP address

and subnet mask to the interface.

3

Type

exit

to return to Supervisor mode.

The prompt returns to

X330WAN-2DS1-N(super)#

Note:

The first IP interface created in the X330WAN automatically becomes the PMI

(Primary Management Interface), described in detail on page 34. It is recommended
to configure the Loopback interface as the first Layer 2 interface and to configure an
IP interface on it. After the PMI is configured, the following message appears:

The primary management interface has changed.

For this change to take effect, you need to copy running-config

startup-config and then reset the device.

Enter the

copy running-config startup-config

and

reset

commands at this

stage.
