Cisco 6000 series - Configuring Null Interfaces

PurposeCommand or Action
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# configure
Enters interface configuration mode and names the new
loopback interface.
interface loopback interface-path-id
Example:
Step 2
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router#(config)# interface Loopback
3
Assigns an IP address and subnet mask to the virtual
loopback interface using the ipv4 address configuration
command.
ipv4 address ip-address
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# ipv4 address

Example:
• • Entering yes saves configuration changes to the
running configuration file, exits the configuration
session, and returns the router to XR EXEC mode.
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# commit
• Entering no exits the configuration session and
returns the router to XR EXEC mode without
committing the configuration changes.
• Entering cancel leaves the router in the current
configuration session without exiting or
committing the configuration changes.
• Use the commit command to save the configuration
changes to the running configuration file and remain
within the configuration session.
(Optional) Displays the configuration of the loopback
interface.
