Monitoring Ospf - Cisco 3032 Software Configuration Manual

Configuring OSPF
as its router ID, even if other interfaces have higher IP addresses. Loopback interfaces never fail, which
provides greater stability. OSPF automatically prefers a loopback interface over other interfaces, and it
chooses the highest IP address among all loopback interfaces.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a loopback interface:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2 interface loopback 0
Step 3
ip address address mask
Step 4 end
Step 5 show ip interface
Step 6 copy running-config startup-config
Use the no interface loopback 0 global configuration command to disable the loopback interface.
