[c-nsp] Loopback Interfaces and VRF configuration

[Maya Yajnik]

Hello

Does anyone know the purpose of using an additional Loopback interface (like
Loopback1) and associating that with a vrf? I see this in VRF-Lite example
configurations. 

 

For example,

Router(config)# interface Loopback1
Router(config-if)# ip vrf forwarding v1
Router(config-if)# ip address 3.3.1.3 255.255.255.0
Router(config-if)# exit

 

Thank you!

Maya
