IMITATIONS
Physical interface types are obviously decided by the hardware. In addition,
certain physical interface types support sub-interfaces. For example, for 802.1Q
VLANs and for Frame Relay (6-1007) DLCIs.
The sub-interfaces for 802.1Q should be in the range from 1 to 4096 as per the
IEEE specification and 4096 sub-interfaces should be allowed (though not
necessarily a good idea) for every physical interface. For Frame Relay, the
number of DLCIs allowed per interface is decided by how many bits you choose to
use for the DLCI.
