 The dummy interface is really a little exotic, but rather useful nevertheless.
 Dummy interfaces are much like the :ref:`loopback-interface` interface, except
-you can have as many as you want. Dummy interfaces can be used as interfaces
-that always stay up (in the same fashion to loopbacks in Cisco IOS), or for
-testing purposes.
