Loopback address Issue in cidr 32 with CUE

[ciscoroyzhang]

Hi all

configure CUE as following:

interface Loopback0
> ip address 172.16.30.254 255.255.255.255
> ip ospf network point-to-point
>
> interface Service-Engine1/0
> ip unnumbered Loopback0
> service-module ip address 172.16.30.253 255.255.255.0

Error message: IP Subnet does not match with interface Service-Engine1/0

I know if I change the cider on loopback 0 to 24 should sovle this issue, but let's say we only allow to have cidr 32 on loopback 0.

any suggestion?

Thanks in advance

Hi Roy,

Given the router needs the ability to point traffic for the subnet to the Service-Engine, configuring your loopback with /32 means that traffic for the greater 172.16.30.0/24 will not be passed to the Service-Engine1/0. No connectivity will be established to the CUE using this configuration.

If you must not change the loopback, you could directly configure the Service-Engine directly.

The following document explains this concisely:
