On Cisco routers you must explicitly assign a loopback interface. If you
want it to be 127.0.0.1 you must do like this:
conf t
int loopback1
ip address 127.0.0.1 255.255.0.0
Then you will be able to ping yourself at this address.
The automatic "well known" loopback is valid only for nic cards and other
devices where you wouldn't be able to setup a loopback by other means.

Subject: Could not ping 127.0.0.1 [7:17317]
Hi Group
Have any one tried to ping the well known loopback address 127.0.0.1? I
tried but I could not. I could ping the other ip interfaces on the router
though.
Any explanation is welcomed.
Thanks
