>From what I've read the functions/benefits of the loopback interface includes that "it provides an entry point for console based telnet sessions in the event that all physical interfaces are down".
Why is this a benefit? You can always connect through the console to configure the router even if you do not have a loopback interface defined, can't you? So exactly, what are the profits that this can be done "telnet-based"? A practical example would be great.
