I changed my lo device name to lo:1 using ip command

this is what I did
ip link set dev lo name lo:1

my network did not respond and I had to reboot the system,
I was not able to change it back or add lo device using ifconfig


Please let me know why did it happen, what does lo play in 
network?
I have eth0 assigned....

regards
vadiraj
