I've noticed it's been required when installing a couple of applications to my machine, but aside from guessing, I've never have had a sturdy understanding of it's functionality. I've read a couple of articles online, but nothing really made me "get it". While I don't need a hugely complex answer, a little explaination would be very useful. When sending messages to By using a loopback adapter, the messages get send much further through the stack, enabling programs like wireshark to capture the packets and enabling you to analyze the packets.
Well, the best answer I can give you is a few links. Basically, it's a fake network interface, useful for tests and stability. In practice, most likely something you'll never have to worry about or you'd already know about it! Here's an explanation that might be a bit easier to understand - one I'm working on at the moment. We a Bank are pretty damn secure, as you would expect. One of our third party vendors requires the POS java app that we have to use connect to a Well, that's not routable.
So we have loopback adapters, one for each of their We then use the "netsh" command to redirect traffic So any traffic that access, for example, The pain is having one adapter per address. Some software requires some network functionality, even if the machine in question doesn't have network functionality. The loopback is a dummy network driver, which can have real network protocols bound to it.
This allows the software to install properly, even though there isn't a real network card installed in the machine. The loopback interface is always up and reachable as long as the route to that IP address is available in the IP routing table.
Hence, you can use the loopback interface for diagnostics and troubleshooting purposes. Protocols such as OSPF use the loopback address to determine protocol-specific properties for the device or network. Further, some commands such as ping mpls require a loopback address to function correctly.
You can apply stateless firewall filters to the loopback logical unit to filter packets originating from, or destined for, the Routing Engine. Junos OS creates a separate loopback interface for the internal routing instance, which prevents any filter on lo0. You a system administrator, network administrator, or end user can use this procedure to configure the loopback interface on your device.
When specifying the loopback address on a device, do not include a destination prefix. Also, in most cases, specify a loopback address only on unit 0 and no others. For Layer 3 virtual private networks VPNs , you can configure multiple logical units for the loopback interface. This allows you to configure a logical loopback interface for each virtual routing and forwarding VRF routing instance. You can configure loopback interfaces using a host recommended , a subnetwork address for both inet and inet6 address families, or an ISO network entity title NET address for the iso address family.
Many protocols require a loopback address as their source address. Configuring a loopback address as a donor interface for unnumbered interfaces enables these protocols to run on unnumbered interfaces.
The internal loopback interface is a particular instance of the loopback interface with the logical unit number You use the loopback interface to identify the device. While you can use any interface address to determine if the device is online, the loopback address is the preferred method.
Whereas interfaces might be removed or addresses changed based on network topology changes, the loopback address never changes. When you ping an individual interface address, the results do not always indicate the health of the device.
For example, a subnet mismatch in the configuration of two endpoints on a point-to-point link makes the link appear to be inoperable. Pinging the interface to determine whether the device is online provides a misleading result.
An interface might be unavailable because of a problem unrelated to the device configuration or operation. You can use the loopback interface to address these issues.
As the loopback address never changes, it is the best way to identify a device in the network. The loopback interface is always up and reachable as long as the route to that IP address is available in the IP routing table.
