    Configuring Loopback Interfaces for the DHCPv4 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 wholesale loopback interface.
      [edit interfaces lo0]user@host# edit unit 3
    3. Edit the loopback interface family that belongs to the wholesaler.
      [edit interfaces lo0 unit 3]user@host# edit family inet
    4. Specify the loopback interface address that belongs to the wholesaler.
      [edit interfaces lo0 unit 3]user@host# set address 44.40.0.1/32
    5. Edit the unit for a retail loopback interface to be assigned to the retailer.
      [edit interfaces lo0]user@host# edit unit 1
    6. Edit the loopback interface family that will be assigned to the retailer.
      [edit interfaces lo0 unit 1]user@host# edit family inet
    7. Specify the loopback interface address that will be assigned to the retailer.
      [edit interfaces lo0 unit 1]user@host# set address 44.42.0.1/32
    8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 for additional retailers, making sure to use unique unit and address values for each retailer loopback interface.
