A LANCOM Wireless can be set with up to 16 loopback addresses with which it can be addressed, for example for the management of large network structures. To use the loopback addresses for certain networks (e.g. in the context of Advanced Routing and Forwarding), these addresses can be assigned with routing tags. To simplify the identification in other configuration units, the loopback addresses can be given freely definable names:
LANconfig: TCP/IP / General / Loopback addresses
WEBconfig: LCOS menu tree > Setup > TCP-IP > Loopback list
- Name A freely definable name for the loopback address.
- Loopback address Loopback address for the device.
- Routing tag Routing tag of the loopback address. Loopback addresses with the routing tag '0' (untagged) are visible to all networks. Loopback addresses with a different routing tag are only visible to networks with the same routing tag.
