It depends on the IDB (Interface Descriptor Block) supported on the IOS. Each vlan needs an IDB, so if you have support for extended vlans on a switch you can configure upto 4000IDB's.

Please have a look at the link below:

Hello William,

Sorry I pasted a wrong link.

You can configure as many secondary IP addresses as you want. However, remember that if you configure too many IP addresses to one interface, the traffic will increase and your network will slow down. The CPU usage will increase too and you might experience some other trouble even network going down. Therefore, my advice is that you configure only the necessary IP addresses, and be very careful with this.

HTH,Please rate if it does.
