Loopback Interface Commands
Dell EMC Networking N1500/N2000/N2100-ON/N2200-ON/N3000E-
ON/N3100-ON/N3200-ON Series Switches
Dell EMC Networking provides for the creation, deletion, and management
of loopback interfaces. They are dynamic interfaces that are created and
deleted by user configuration.
A loopback interface is always expected to be up. As such, it provides a means
to configure a stable IP address on the device which may be referred to by
other switches in the network. This interface never transmits data but may
receive data. It is typically expected to be used by routing protocols.
Loopback interfaces will respond to pings.
Loopback interfaces are not supported on the N1100-ON and N1500 Series
switches.
