Configuring the Virtual IP Address (SRC CLI)

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

To configure the virtual IP address:

From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that configures logical interface 1 for the loopback interface.
[edit]user@host# edit interfaces lo unit 1
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

Verify the interface configuration.

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