    Configuring Loopback Interfaces for the DHCPv6 Layer 3 Wholesale Solution

    You must configure loopback interfaces for use in the subscriber management access network. The loopback interfaces are automatically used for unnumbered interfaces.

    To configure loopback interfaces:

    1. Edit the loopback interface.
      [edit]user@host# edit interfaces lo0
    2. Edit the unit for the loopback interface that you want to use for the wholesaler.
      [edit interfaces lo0]user@host# edit unit 0
    3. Edit the loopback interface family that belongs to the wholesaler.
      [edit interfaces lo0 unit 0]user@host# edit family inet6
    4. Specify the wholesale loopback interface address.
      [edit interfaces lo0 unit 0]user@host# set address 2002:2c28:2c21::1/128
    5. Edit the unit for a retail loopback interface.
      [edit interfaces lo0]user@host# edit unit 1
    6. Edit the retail loopback interface family.
      [edit interfaces lo0 unit 1]user@host# edit family inet6
    7. Specify the retail loopback interface address.
      [edit interfaces lo0 unit 1]user@host# set address 2002:2c2c:2c21::1/128
    8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 for additional retailers, making sure to use unique unit and address values for each retailer loopback interface.
