Hi Brian,
   
   
  Thanks for the clarification But still I am not able to get the concept of why we usually set the output to a loopback interface!
   
   
  for example in LAB 14, Task 11.1 (NAT on a Stick) you used this command in your solution.
   
  R2
   
  interface loopback 0
  ip nat inside
   
  inter fas0/0
  ip addd 172.16.0.2 255.255.255.0 secondary
  ip address 167.1.27.2 255.255.255.0
  ip nat outside
  ip policy route-map POLICY
   
  ip nat pool INSIDE_GLOBAL 167.1.27.100 167.1.27.199 netmask 255.255.255.0
ip nat inside source list INSIDE_LOCAL pool INSIDE_GLOBAL
   
  ip access-list standard INSIDE_LOCAL
 permit 172.16.0.0 0.0.0.255
!
!
route-map POLICY permit 10
 match ip address INSIDE_LOCAL
 set interface Loopback0 <------------- How this command is helping here?

  From the DocCD:

set interface
To indicate where to output packets that pass a match clause of a route
map for policy routing, use the set interface command in route-map
configuration mode. To delete an entry, use the no form of this command.

set interface interface-type interface-number [...interface-type
interface-number]

Dear Group, what does "set interface Loopback0" means in the following
configuration :

interface FastEthernet0/0
ip address 167.1.5.5 255.255.255.0
ip policy route-map POLICY

access-list 30 permit 167.1.5.0 0.0.0.255

interface loopback 0
ip address 150.1.5.5 255.255.255.0

route-map POLICY permit 10
match ip address 30
set interface Loopback0

Thanks,
Ismail
