How Can I ping a loopback interface without adding it into ospf

dppagc

Suppose my routers are running OSPF.
I cannot ping 5.5.5.5 unless I use the command below:

router ospf 1
net 5.5.5.5 0.0.0.0 area 0

Is there any way to do it without using tis command?

Yes.

#interface loopback 0
#ip ospf 1 area 0
