Understanding SNMP IfIndex Persistence
The SNMP ifIndex persistence feature provides an interface index (ifIndex) value that is retained and
used when the router reboots. The ifIndex value is a unique identifying number associated with a
physical or logical interface.
There is no requirement in the relevant RFCs that the correspondence between particular ifIndex values
and their interfaces be maintained when the router reboots, but many applications (for example, device
inventory, billing, and fault detection) require maintenance of this correspondence.
You can poll the router at regular intervals to correlate the interfaces to the ifIndexes, but it is not
practical to poll constantly. The SNMP ifIndex persistence feature provides permanent ifIndex values,
which eliminates the need to poll interfaces.
