Close, but not quite right. The maximum number of loopback interfaces will be limited by the maximum number of interface descriptor blocks (IDBs) on a given platform and IOS version. You may want to bookmark this web page, because it is a fairly good snapshot of most of the platforms out there: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/63/idb_limit.html So you may be asking why the field value is set to such a high number as 2 raised to the 31st power, or 2147483647? If you think about it, the upper limit may change in future versions of the IOS to conform with a future/need/capability. As memory capabilities grow, the software is already capable of providing this capability.
