To install the microsoft loopback adapter on win 10 you must:
- right click on window start menu icon and select Device manager. Device manager window will immediately open (or you may use any other way how to open device manager window)
- click on Action, and select Add legacy hardware
- click Next on welcome screen
- choose "Install the hardware that i manually select from a list" and click on Next
- scroll down and select Network adapters from offered common hardware types and click on Next
- select Microsoft as the manufacturer, and then select Microsoft KM-TEST Loopback adapter card model, click on Next
- click on Next
- click on Finish
the issue I ran into with this is that I cannot set a VLAN on this adapter.
I think that this is not supported on Loopback adapter, at least cisco with which i have experience, did not support it
I have a server with a loopback that I want to routing.
I have a server with 2 NICs in different network addresses in 2 switch core for redundance (interconnected between them).
I have an application that can be Access with the ip address of the loopback.
Can I do that?, how?
(I have the configuration of the switches, and the configuration of the NICs and the loopback, I know that I need more configuration in the Windows server, if it is possible)
hmm…i’m not a server admin guy but from the networking perspective I think that you need a routing process on the server that will announce a loop IP address over your NICs
