Depends on what you need them for..

A single interface may carry as many IP networks or IP addresses as you
like. Addresses may be labeled with a name (i.e. eth0:label) for
management reasons, but is purely optional (well, the old ifconfig
command needs labels).

There exists a wide variety of virtual interfaces depending on your
networking needs. GRE interfaces. IPIP interfaces. 802.1q VLAN
interfaces, bonding interfaces, bridge interfaces, TUN/TAP interfaces,
MAC based VLAN interfaces, etc etc.. all serving different purposes in
networking.
