Release Information

Command introduced before Junos OS Release 7.4.

Description

Display status information about the local loopback interface.

Note: Logical interface lo0.16385 is the loopback interface for the internal routing instance. Created by the internal routing service process, this interface facilitates internal traffic. It prevents any filter created on loopback lo0.0 from blocking internal traffic.

Options

lo0

—

Display standard status information about the local loopback interface.

brief | detail | extensive | terse

—

(Optional) Display the specified level of output.

descriptions

—

(Optional) Display interface description strings.

media

—

(Optional) Display media-specific information.

snmp-index snmp-index

—

(Optional) Display information for the specified SNMP index of the interface.

statistics

—

(Optional) Display static interface statistics.

Output Fields

Table 1 lists the output fields for the show interfaces (loopback) command. Output fields are listed in the approximate order in which they appear.

Table 1: Loopback show interfaces Output Fields

Field Name	Field Description	Level of Output
Physical Interface
Physical Interface	Name of the physical interface.	All levels
Enabled	State of the interface. Possible values are described in the “Enabled Field” section under Common Output Fields Description.	All levels
Interface index	Physical interface index number, which reflects its initialization sequence.	detail extensive none
SNMP ifIndex	SNMP index number for the physical interface.	detail extensive none
Generation	Unique number for use by Juniper Networks technical support only.	detail extensive
Type	Type of interface.	All levels
Link-level type	Encapsulation type used on the physical interface.	All levels
MTU	Size of the largest packet to be transmitted.	All levels
Clocking	Reference clock source of the interface.	All levels
Speed	Network speed on the interface.	All levels
Device flags	Information about the physical device. Possible values are described in the “Device Flags” section under Common Output Fields Description.	All levels
Interface flags	Information about the interface. Possible values are described in the “Interface Flags” section under Common Output Fields Description.	All levels
Link type	Data transmission type.	detail extensive
Link flags	Information about the link. Possible values are described in the “Link Flags” section under Common Output Fields Description.	detail extensive none
Physical info	Information about the physical interface.	detail extensive
Hold-times	Current interface hold-time up and hold-time down. Value is in milliseconds.	detail extensive
Current address	Configured MAC address.	detail extensive
Hardware address	Media access control (MAC) address of the interface.	detail extensive
Alternate link address	Backup link address.	detail extensive
Last flapped	Date, time, and how long ago the interface went from down to up. The format is Last flapped: year-month-day hour:minute:second timezone (hour:minute:second ago). For example, Last flapped: 2002-04-26 10:52:40 PDT (04:33:20 ago).	detail extensive
Statistics last cleared	Time when the statistics for the interface were last set to zero.	detail extensive
Traffic statistics	Number and rate of bytes and packets received and transmitted on the physical interface. Input bytes, Output bytes—Number of bytes received and transmitted on the interface. Input packets, Output packets—Number of packets received and transmitted on the interface.	detail extensive
Input errors	Errors—Input errors on the interface. Drops—Number of packets dropped by the output queue of the I/O Manager ASIC. Framing errors—Number of packets received with an invalid frame checksum (FCS). Runts—Frames received smaller than the runt threshold. Giants—Frames received larger than the giant threshold. Policed Discards—Frames that the incoming packet match code discarded because the frames were not recognized or were not of interest. Usually, this field reports protocols that Junos does not support. Resource errors—Sum of transmit drops.	extensive
Output errors	Carrier transitions—Number of times the interface has gone from down to up. This number does not normally increment quickly, increasing only when the cable is unplugged, the far-end system is powered down and then up, or another problem occurs. If the number of carrier transitions increments quickly, possibly once every 10 seconds, the cable, the remote system, or the interface is malfunctioning. Errors—Sum of outgoing frame aborts and FCS errors. Drops—Number of packets dropped by the output queue of the I/O Manager ASIC. If the interface is saturated, this number increments once for every packet dropped by the ASIC RED mechanism. MTU errors—Number of packets larger than the MTU threshold. Resource errors—Sum of transmit drops.	extensive
Logical Interface
Logical interface	Name of the logical interface.	All levels
Index	Logical interface index number, which reflects its initialization sequence.	detail extensive
SNMP ifIndex	Logical interface SNMP interface index number.	detail extensive
Generation	Unique number for use by Juniper Networks technical support only.	detail extensive
Flags	Information about the logical interface; values are described in the “Logical Interface Flags” section under Common Output Fields Description.	brief detail extensive
Encapsulation	Encapsulation on the logical interface.	brief detail extensive
Input packets	Number of packets received on the logical interface.	None specified
Output packets	Number of packets transmitted on the logical interface.	None specified
Traffic statistics	Total number of bytes and packets received and transmitted on the logical interface. These statistics are the sum of the local and transit statistics. When a burst of traffic is received, the value in the output packet rate field might briefly exceed the peak cell rate. It takes awhile (generally, less than 1 second) for this counter to stabilize.	detail extensive
Local statistics	Statistics for traffic received from and transmitted to the Routing Engine. When a burst of traffic is received, the value in the output packet rate field might briefly exceed the peak cell rate. It takes awhile (generally, less than 1 second) for this counter to stabilize.	detail extensive
Protocol	Protocol family configured on the logical interface (such as iso or inet6).	detail extensive none
MTU	MTU size on the logical interface.	detail extensive none
Generation	Unique number for use by Juniper Networks technical support only.	detail extensive
Route Table	Route table in which this address exists; for example, Route table:0 refers to inet.0.	detail extensive
Flags	Information about the protocol family flags. Possible values are described in the “Family Flags” section under Common Output Fields Description.	detail extensive none
Addresses, Flags	Information about the address flags. Possible values are described in the “Addresses Flags” section under Common Output Fields Description.	detail extensive
Destination	IP address of the remote side of the connection.	detail extensive none
Local	IP address of the logical interface.	detail extensive none
Broadcast	Broadcast address on the logical interface.	detail extensive none
Generation	Unique number for use by Juniper Networks technical support only.	detail extensive
