loopback (Aggregated Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet)
Syntax
(loopback | no-loopback);
Hierarchy Level
[edit interfaces interface-name aggregated-ether-options], [edit interfaces interface-name ether-options], [edit interfaces interface-name fastether-options], [edit interfaces interface-name gigether-options], [edit interfaces interface-range name ether-options]
For QFX Series and EX Series:
[edit interfaces interface-name aggregated-ether-options], [edit interfaces interface-name ether-options],
For SRX Series Firewalls and vSRX Virtual Firewall:
[edit interfaces interface-name redundant-ether-options]
Description
For aggregated Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, enable or disable loopback mode.
By default, local aggregated Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Tri-Rate Ethernet copper, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces connect to a remote system.
IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) addresses are not supported on Gigabit Ethernet interfaces when loopback mode is enabled on the interface. That is, if the
loopbackstatement is configured at the[edit interfaces ge-fpc/pic/port gigether-options]hierarchy level, an NDP address cannot be configured at the[edit interfaces ge-fpc/pic/port unit logical-unit-number family inet6 address]hierarchy level.
Default
By default, loopback is disabled.
Required Privilege Level
