IP subinterfaces allow the device to service more than one IP address range
on a single physical network segment.
on a single physical network segment.
Because a routed IP packet does not contain any information regarding which
networks it has passed across, the device must associate all IP packets
received from a physical segment with the primary interface connected to that
segment. As a result of this, the only IP parameters which can be set for
subinterfaces are the IP Address, IP Subnet Mask, and IP Broadcast Address.
