Description

Interface lo0 is up, but logical interface lo0.* Flags ''Down'' . This phenomenon only occurs on loopback interface on Junos 14.1X53-D30.3. The physical interfaces shows normal on Junos 14.1X53-D30.3.

Solution

 This has no service impact. It is a cosmetic issue in PFE level. To check loopback interface state, use 'show interface terse' instead.
