To Create a Fake Ethernet dummy Interface On Linux we First initialize the dummy interface driver using the below command:
**/sbin/modprobe dummy**.  

Then we Assign Ethernet Interface alias To Dummy Driver we just initialized above.

But it gives the following Fatal error saying:
**FATAL: Module dummy not found.**

Also, at the path **cd /sys/devices/virtual/net#** , we can see that there are virtual interfaces present by the following names:  

dummy0/ lo/ sit0/ tunl0/

**ifconfig -a** 

```

```

So, the modprobe command is not able to load the kernel module.  

How can we load a kernel module using **modprobe** or insmod to initialize a dummy interface driver?  

Can we create multiple dummy interfaces on a single loaded module?
