Configuring Loopback Interfaces Beginning in Privileged EXEC mode, use the following commands to configure a loopback interface. Command Purpose configure Enter Global Configuration mode. interface loopback loopback-id Create the loopback interface and enter Interface Configuration mode for the specified loopback interface. ip address ip_address Configure a static IP address and subnet mask. Use the subnet_mask [secondary] secondary keyword to specify that the address is a secondary IP address. CTRL + Z Exit to Privileged EXEC mode. show ip interface loopback View interface configuration information for the loopback-id specified loopback interface. Configuring Routing Interfaces 869
