Yes, it is possible. The biggest issue would be selecting an ifIndex for those instances. The regular interfaces get their ifIndex from the kernel, so you can't always just pick the next value and use it. While it would work in some environments, in others you would run into conflicts when the kernel uses the same ifIndex (e.g. in Linux ppp connections result in a new interface and new ifIndex).

Just be careful about selecting ifIndexes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
