[j-nsp] New to Juniper: loopback interface address for the re0 configuration group?

[v]

Thank you!

However, if I understand correctly that configuration snippet is from the fxp0 interface. I can't see an lo0 interface being mentioned anywhere in your configuration. Which part of your configuration comes from "set re0 interfaces lo0 unit 0 family inet address [address/prefix-length]"?

Regards,
v
