A loopback interface operates only in router mode.

Before configuring an IP address for the interface, make sure the interface is

configured to operate in router mode.

Interface management configuration example

Network requirements

As shown in Figure 5, Firewall connects Host A and Host B through its interfaces GigabitEthernet 0/1

and GigabitEthernet 0/2, respectively. Configure the two interfaces as shown in Figure 5, so that both

Host A and Host B can access Fi

rewall. Then, shut down GigabitEthernet 0/1 so that Host A will not be

able to access Firewall.
