We have two EX4200 switches in the following configuration:

Router (.1)=====static route=====(.2) EX_01========trunk========EX_02

I want to configure a loopback or management interface on EX_02. Junos doesn't allow ethernet switching on a loopback address, only inet. Is there another way to set the loopback address on EX_02 so that it's routable back to EX_01?

I've read elsewhere that some people will just run a cable from the me0 port into an access port on the front of the switch. I may end up just doing that; seems unnecessary though.
