It should have been set up diring the install, but you can verify it
manually.

You should have a file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo with

DEVICE=lo
IPADDR=127.0.0.1
NETMASK=255.0.0.0
NETWORK=127.0.0.0
# If you're having problems with gated making 127.0.0.0/8 a martian,
# you can change this to something else (255.255.255.255, for example)
BROADCAST=127.255.255.255
ONBOOT=yes
NAME=loopback

Once this file exists, all you'll need to do is:  ifup lo
