loopback (Aggregated Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

For QFX Series and EX Series:

For SRX Series Devices and vSRX:

Description

For aggregated Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, enable or disable loopback mode.

Note:
  • By default, local aggregated Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Tri-Rate Ethernet copper, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces connect to a remote system.

  • IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) addresses are not supported on Gigabit Ethernet interfaces when loopback mode is enabled on the interface. That is, if the loopback statement is configured at the [edit interfaces ge-fpc/pic/port gigether-options] hierarchy level, an NDP address cannot be configured at the [edit interfaces ge-fpc/pic/port unit logical-unit-number family inet6 address] hierarchy level.

Default

By default, loopback is disabled.
