.. _dummy-interface:
#####
Dummy
#####
The dummy interface is really a little exotic, but rather useful nevertheless.
Dummy interfaces are much like the :ref:`loopback-interface` interface, except
you can have as many as you want.
.. note:: Dummy interfaces can be used as interfaces that always stay up (in
the same fashion to loopbacks in Cisco IOS), or for testing purposes.
.. hint:: A Dummy interface is always up, thus it could be used for
management traffic or as source/destination for and :abbr:`IGP (Interior
Gateway Protocol)` like :ref:`bgp` so your internal BGP link is not dependent
on physical link states and multiple routes can be chosen to the
destination. A :ref:`dummy-interface` Interface should always be preferred
over a :ref:`loopback-interface` interface.
