Detailed explanation-1: -The loopback address in IPv4 is 127.0. 01. In IPv6, the loopback address is 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 or ::1.
Detailed explanation-2: -Loopback IP Addresses The IP address range 127.0. 0.0 – 127.255. 255.255 is reserved for loopback, i.e. a Host’s self-address, also known as localhost address. This loopback IP address is managed entirely by and within the operating system.
Detailed explanation-3: -The three types of IPv6 addresses are: unicast, anycast, and multicast.
Detailed explanation-4: -By default, each switch has eight internal IPv6 loopback interfaces ( lo-0 as through lo-7 ) with IPv6 address ::1/128 configured by default on lo-0 . This address (::1/128) is used only for internal traffic transmitted within the switch and is not used in packet headers in egress traffic sent to network devices.
