Adding a loopback interface
Loopback interfaces are always up, regardless of the states of physical interfaces. They can add
stability to the network because they are not subject to route flap problems that can occur due to
unstable links between a Layer 3 Switch and other devices. You can configure up to eight loopback
interfaces on a Brocade Virtual ADX. You can add up to 24 IP addresses to each loopback interface.
To configure a loopback interface on the Brocade Virtual ADX, perform the following steps within
the Configure tab.
1. Click Network on the menu bar.
2. From the sidebar, select Interface.
The Summary tab is displayed. See Figure 42.
