Thanks to all replied, I was given the following number:
4, 255, 256

But I believe Darren Dunham gave the best answer ( correct of course )

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sunsolve SRDB 12570
What is the maximum number of virtual interfaces (le0:1, le0:2, ...)?

  In Solaris 2.4, 2.5 and 2.5.1, you can have up to 255 virtual (
  logical ) addresses per interface.

  [...]

  In Solaris 2.6 you can go greater than 256 ( 0-255 ) which is
  configurable with NDD. The command "ndd -set /dev/ip ip_addrs_per_if
  <1-8192>" will permit you to configure as many as your addressing
  structure will permit (up to 8191 virtual hosts.)
