Configuring Loopback Interfaces for the DHCPv4 Layer 3 Wholesale Solution

You must configure loopback interfaces for use in the subscriber management access network. The loopback interfaces are automatically used for unnumbered interfaces.

To configure loopback interfaces:

  1. Edit the loopback interface.
    [edit]user@host# edit interfaces lo0
  2. Edit the unit for the wholesale loopback interface.
    [edit interfaces lo0]user@host# edit unit 3
  3. Edit the loopback interface family that belongs to the wholesaler.
    [edit interfaces lo0 unit 3]user@host# edit family inet
  4. Specify the loopback interface address that belongs to the wholesaler.
    [edit interfaces lo0 unit 3]user@host# set address 44.40.0.1/32
  5. Edit the unit for a retail loopback interface to be assigned to the retailer.
    [edit interfaces lo0]user@host# edit unit 1
  6. Edit the loopback interface family that will be assigned to the retailer.
    [edit interfaces lo0 unit 1]user@host# edit family inet
  7. Specify the loopback interface address that will be assigned to the retailer.
    [edit interfaces lo0 unit 1]user@host# set address 44.42.0.1/32
  8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 for additional retailers, making sure to use unique unit and address values for each retailer loopback interface.
