Hello,

     As long as you can reach loopback's ip address you will still access the router via that IP address. Tacacs is a part of AAA components.  You can use local user/line to authenticate users as well. No need to use tacacs till you want to.

Hi Toshi,

Right now i am able to telnet router -- by IP address assigned to Fast interface.

I have also set up user name and pw.

but i was wondering  if i can telnet the router using loopback IP ?

For normal telnet we do line vty 0 15

and config the telnet 

But for Loobback  interface i do not  know how cani config it?

Thanks

Hi,

    It's an IP address on the device(in your case).  You need to reach that IP address(via routing protocol or static route etc). All configuration on vty lines are the same.

F.e

!

interface loopback 99

description  Management IP

ip add 99.99.99.99 255.255.255.255

!
