persistence.

no snmp-server ifindex persist
Syntax Description This command has no arguments or keywords.
Defaults Disabled.
Command Modes Global configuration mode
Command History
Usage Guidelines Interface index persistence occurs when ifIndex values in the IF-MIB persist across reboots and allow
for consistent identification of specific interfaces using SNMP.
The snmp-server ifindex persist global configuration command does not override interface-specific
configuration. To override the interface-specific configuration of ifIndex persistence, enter the no snmp
ifindex persist and snmp ifindex clear interface configuration commands.
Entering the no snmp-server ifindex persist global configuration command enables and disables
ifIndex persistence for all interfaces on the routing device using ifDescr and ifIndex entries in the ifIndex
table of the IF-MIB.
Examples This example shows how to enable ifIndex persistence for all interfaces:
Router(config)# snmp-server ifindex persist
Related Commands snmp ifindex clear
snmp ifindex persist
