Adding VLAN subinterfaces
The VLAN ID of each VLAN subinterface must match the VLAN ID added by the IEEE 
802.1Q-compliant router. The VLAN ID can be any number between 1 and 4096. 
Each VLAN subinterface must also be configured with its own IP address and 
netmask.
You add VLAN subinterfaces to the physical interface that receives VLAN-tagged 
packets.
