Configuring Loopback Interfaces for the DHCPv6 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 loopback interface that you want to use for the wholesaler.
    [edit interfaces lo0]user@host# edit unit 0
  3. Edit the loopback interface family that belongs to the wholesaler.
    [edit interfaces lo0 unit 0]user@host# edit family inet6
  4. Specify the wholesale loopback interface address.
    [edit interfaces lo0 unit 0]user@host# set address 2002:2c28:2c21::1/128
  5. Edit the unit for a retail loopback interface.
    [edit interfaces lo0]user@host# edit unit 1
  6. Edit the retail loopback interface family.
    [edit interfaces lo0 unit 1]user@host# edit family inet6
  7. Specify the retail loopback interface address.
    [edit interfaces lo0 unit 1]user@host# set address 2002:2c2c:2c21::1/128
  8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 for additional retailers, making sure to use unique unit and address values for each retailer loopback interface.
