cieIfIndexGlobalPersistence

Module: CISCO-IF-EXTENSION-MIB

OID (symbolic): CISCO-IF-EXTENSION-MIB::cieIfIndexGlobalPersistence

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.276.1.2.8

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: IfIndexPersistenceState

Access: read-write

Description: This object specifies whether ifIndex values persist across reinitialization of the device.

ifIndex persistence means that the mapping between the ifDescr object values and the ifIndex object values will be retained across reboots.

Applications such as device inventory, billing, and fault detection depend on the maintenance of the correspondence between particular ifIndex values and their interfaces. During reboot or insertion of a new card, the data to correlate the interfaces to the ifIndex may become invalid in absence of ifIndex persistence feature.

ifIndex persistence for an interface ensures ifIndex value for the interface will remain the same after a system reboot. Hence, this feature allows users to avoid the workarounds required for consistent interface identification across reinitialization.

The allowed values for this object are either enable or disable. global value is not allowed.

What is cieIfIndexGlobalPersistence?

This read-write object sets the device-wide default for whether ifIndex-to-ifDescr mappings persist across reboots, ensuring consistent interface numbering for management applications after reinitialization.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.276.1.2.8
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-IF-EXTENSION-MIB::cieIfIndexGlobalPersistence

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.276.1.2.8.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-IF-EXTENSION-MIB::cieIfIndexGlobalPersistence.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.276.1.2.8.1 s <value>
