I put a short summary of the most used ip commands on my page

A rather extensive and good documentation you can find at :

right
ip link set eth0 up
ip addr add 172.16.3.44/16 dev eth0

ip addr add 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo
ping 127.1.2.3 functions then allready
you could add
ip route add 127.0.0.0/8 via 127.0.0.1
