> # Configuring the Virtual IP Address (SRC CLI)

> You can configure the virtual IP address on the loopback interface.

> To configure the virtual IP address:

> 1. From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that configures logical interface 1 for the loopback interface.
>    `
>    [edit]
>    user@host# edit interfaces lo unit 1
>    `
> 2. Specify the protocol family and virtual IP address.
>    `
>    [edit interfaces lo unit 1]
>    user@host# set family (inet | inet6) address address
>    `

>    For example, to configure a virtual IPv4 address:

>    `
>    [edit interfaces lo unit 1]
>    user@host# set family inet address 198.168.254.1/24
>    `
> 3. Verify the interface configuration.

>        [edit interfaces lo unit 1]
>        user@host# show
>        family {
>          inet {
>            address 198.168.254.1/24;
>          }
>        }
