About service loopback groups
A service loopback group provides one of the following services:
· Tunnel—Supports unicast tunnel traffic.
· Multicast tunnel—Supports multicast tunnel traffic.
Restrictions and guidelines: Service loopback group configuration
When you add member ports to a service loopback group, make sure the ports support the service type of the service loopback group and are not members of any other service loopback group.
When you apply service loopback groups to features, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
· One service loopback group can be used by multiple features.
· You cannot change the service type of a service loopback group.
· Do not delete a service loopback group that is being used by a feature.
Configuring a service loopback group
1. Enter system view.
system-view
2. Create a service loopback group and specify its service type.
service-loopback group group-id type { multicast-tunnel | tunnel } *
You can configure only one service loopback group for a service type.
3. Enter Layer 2 Ethernet interface view.
interface interface-type interface-number
4. Assign the port to the service loopback group.
port service-loopback group group-id
By default, a port does not belong to a service loopback group.

CAUTION: · The configuration on a port is removed when it is assigned to a service loopback group. Make sure you fully understand the impact on your network when you assign a port to a service loopback group. · Do not assign a physical interface to the service loopback group if that interface is the only member interface of an IRF port. Doing so will split the IRF fabric, because the assignment operation removes the binding of the physical interface and IRF port. · For correct traffic processing, make sure a service loopback group has a minimum of one member port when it is being used by a feature. |
You can assign a maximum of 256 ports to a service loopback group.

Network configuration
All Ethernet ports on Device A support the tunnel service. Assign FortyGigE 1/0/1 through FortyGigE 1/0/3 to a service loopback group to loop GRE packets sent out by the device back to the device.
Procedure

IMPORTANT: By default, interfaces on the device are disabled (in ADM or Administratively Down state). To have an interface operate, you must use the undo shutdown command to enable that interface. |
# Create service loopback group 1, and specify its service type as tunnel.
