How to delete a loopback / CLIP interface in VOSS

[Christoph]

I'm stuck on how to delete loopback / CLIP interface.

And also I would like to know how to delete a VLAN IP interface without deleting the whole VLAN?

Many thanks!
Indeed that is easy but not documented quite well. Also it's different from any other OS 🙂

Hello Christoph,

For both the answer is easy, go into configuration mode and then the interface context, e.g.
configure terminal
interface loopback 1

Then remove the IP configuration
no ip address 1.2.3.4

For the VLAN interface the IP related configuration is removed/deleted, also, if exist, dhcp forwarding configuration, ...
The VLAN is not removed/deleted from the configuration.

For the loopback interface, when there is no other configuration on the loopback interface then the interface is also removed/deleted.

hope it helps
