You don't need any more than 32 bit on a loop interface because there are no
other hosts. OSPF will advertise it as a 32 bit address if you don't change
the network to PTP. Other than that, it is a normal network.

Subject: loopback address
> Dear all,
> Why we usually put loopback addresses as 32-bit? And is it right that
whatever we put the loopback address, it will be advertised as 32-bit even
if we put it as 24bit address, and if you have a good document about this
issue , plz advise.
