Layer 3 Routing Commands 1565Loopback Interface CommandsDell EMC Networking N1500/N2000/N3000/N3100/N4000 SeriesSwitchesDell EMC Networking provides for the creation, deletion, and managementof loopback interfaces. They are dynamic interfaces that are created anddeleted by user configuration.A loopback interface is always expected to be up. As such, it provides a meansto configure a stable IP address on the device which may be referred to byother switches in the network. This interface never transmits data but mayreceive 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 Series switches.Commands in this SectionThis section explains the following commands:interface loopbackUse the interface loopback command in Global Configuration mode to enterthe Interface Loopback configuration mode.Syntaxinterface loopback loopback-idno interface loopback loopback-id• loopback-id — Loopback identifier.
