Ubuntu multiple loopback interfaces
So today I was playing around with this crap named Ubuntu and I could not
figure out why my extra loopback interfaces I added to
/etc/network/interfaces
would not show up after restarting networking with
/etc/init.d/networking
restart. The reason for that is that it excludes all
loopback interfaces.
auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto lo:0 iface lo:0 inet static address 127.0.0.2 netmask 255.0.0.0
Then use the function "ifup" to restart all the networking stuff. ifup -a. You are not set, check with ifconfig.
