SmartNode™ IP Loopback Interface
by Bernhard Fluehmann, Converged IP Product Manager
A loopback interface is a logical IP interface which is not bound to any physical network port, similar to the localhost interface on a PC. Since it has no bindings, the loopback interface is always up. It can be used for many applications where a router should be accessible at a given IP-address regardless of its physical interfaces and their states. The most common scenario is where internet service providers want to organize all of their edge routers in one ip-range, independent of the underlying physical networks and changing WAN addresses. This helps them improve manageability and security.

Loopback interfaces are supported by all router models of the SmartNode family of VoIP gateways. For detailed information please refer to the section configuring a loopback interface of the SmartWare™ Software Configuration Guide.
