The router names are P4S1 and P4S2. 2. Create a loopback interface on either of the routers and specify an IP address to every loopback interface. 3. Delete the loopback interfaces. Lab Process: 1. The loopback interface is a logical virtual interface on the router. A router has no loopback interfaces by default, but they can be created on it. In normal cases, a router has fewer interfaces than a switch; therefore, you need to create loopback interfaces when doing lab. A loopback interface is treated on the router like a physical interface. It can be assigned an IP address. Loopback interfaces are widely used. They are enabled by default. To disable a loopback interface, run the shutdown command. 2. Create a loopback interface. P4S1(config)#interface loopback ? <0-2147483647> Loopback interface number The range of the loopback interface is from 0 to 2147483647. P4S1(config)#interface loopback 0 P4S1(config-if)#ip add 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 P4S1(config-if)#end --------------------------------------------------- Images: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4096/4822683973_e91afe3dc0.jpg --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2010-07-26 18:54:26 Post date GMT: 2010-07-26 10:54:26 Post modified date: 2010-07-26 18:54:26 Post modified date GMT: 2010-07-26 10:54:26 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
