| Dummy | ||||
| ----- | ||||
| ##### | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| The dummy interface is really a little exotic, but rather useful nevertheless. | ||||
| Dummy interfaces are much like the loopback interface, except you can have | ||||
| as many as you want. Dummy interfaces can be used as interfaces that always | ||||
| stay up (in the same fashion to loopbacks in Cisco IOS), or for testing | ||||
| purposes. | ||||

| Address | ||||
| ------- | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| .. cfgcmd:: set interfaces dummy '<interface>' address <address | dhcp | dhcpv6> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
|    Configure dummy interface `<interface>` with one or more interface | ||||
|    addresses. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
|    * **address** can be specified multiple times as IPv4 and/or IPv6 address, | ||||
|      e.g. 192.0.2.1/24 and/or 2001:db8::1/64 | ||||
|    * **dhcp** interface address is received by DHCP from a DHCP server on this | ||||
|      segment. | ||||
|    * **dhcpv6** interface address is received by DHCPv6 from a DHCPv6 server on | ||||
|      this segment. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
|    Example: | ||||
| 
 | ||||
|    .. code-block:: none | ||||
| 
 | ||||
|      set interfaces dummy dum10 address 192.0.2.1/24 | ||||
|      set interfaces dummy dum10 address 192.0.2.2/24 | ||||
|      set interfaces dummy dum10 address 2001:db8::ffff/64 | ||||
|      set interfaces dummy dum10 address 2001:db8:100::ffff/64 | ||||
