Configure CUE to Reference the Loopback Address

I have been going back and reading through a lot of the SRNDs and configuration guides to refresh everything that I have been going over in my lab. I came across one very interesting tidbit of information that I must have glanced over before regarding CUE and configuring the service-engine to reference the loopback interface.

I was able to session into the module, however it did not have any IP connectivity outside of the local router.
