Where auto starts the interface at boot and iface calls the network interface (in this case lo, loopback). All lines beginning with “ auto ” specify the interfaces which will be enabled when running “ ifup -a ”, a command executed at boot. Lines beginning with “iface” have the following syntax:
What is the default interface file in iface?
