Re: Loopbacking the Router? (why???)

Hi The classic example from ACRC and BSCN is the case where you have multi OSPF area's, you have two routers that are in area 0 but have no direct link. You would configure a virtual path so that both routers are conntected in area 0. It is also used with OSPF on a network to set the router ID a

John; is the following loop used for troubleshooting purposes as well? what would be the circumstances? 1) Is a, virtual interface, for lack of a better term. They are often used with advanced routing, i.e. OSPF, BGP4. mjs - John Hardman, MCSE+I, CCNA ArrisTech/CCS-IS SysAdmin <[EMAIL P

Hi There are really two types of loopbacks when you are talking about routers... 1) Is a, virtual interface, for lack of a better term. They are often used with advanced routing, i.e. OSPF, BGP4. 2) Is a physical loopback. This is used for testing lines and CPE (customer premise equipment). An

I was just wondering why you would waste a physical int. for a loopback? You can create logical interfaces with the "int Loopback0" and so on. So why would you take up a serial int unless you were using subinterfaces? I'm not trying to be smart. I really want to know what or why this would be u
