Hi -

I have a cisco 2611 that I use to configure frame relay connections.

Im not sure if I will word this correctly, but how many
interface serial slot/port-adapter/port can I define on 'one' physical serial card ?

for example I have:

interface Serial0/0.9 point-to-point
description customer1
ip address 192.168.151.1 255.255.255.0
frame-relay interface-dlci 103

.. how many of these can I define ?

thx,travis
 
that depends on your overall bandwidth along with the pvc cirs. but as far as i know there is no limit.
 
There is an upper limit, a router's IOS only supports so many IDBs (interface descriptor blocks) which limits the maximum amount of interfaces and subinterfaces on a router.
 
You can specify subinterface numbers in interface configuration mode, or global configuration mode. The Cisco IOS will accept any number from 1 and 4294967295 as a subinterface number. The number 0 refers to the physical interface and not a subinterface.
