Adding a loopback interface into the functional-zone 'management' with JunOS flow-mode

[ Edited ]

I'm not sure what I'm trying to do is possible (or even sensible) in JunOS (flow-mode 9.5 on a J-series), but the CLI does not prevent me from doing it.

 

If I add a logical interface to the functional-zone 'management', I can access my device through this interface's address (providing I've permitted the necessary system-services).

Buf if I add a loopback interface to the functional-zone 'management', I can't access the device with the loopback interface address.

 

security {

 

    zones {                                                                                                                                                                        

        functional-zone management {                                                                                                                                               

            interfaces {

                lo0.0 {

                    host-inbound-traffic {

                        system-services {

                            all;

                        }

                        protocols {

                            all;

                        }

                    }

                }

            }

        }

    }

}

 

 

The only way I found to access my loopback interface was to add it to a security-zone (like Trust) and create a policy to allow traffic to the loopback interface address.

 

Am I missing something ? And why JunOS allows you to put a loopback interface into the functional-zone management if it doesn't work like a logical interface ?
