Optionally, the BOF persist parameter can specify whether the system should preserve system 
indexes when a save command is executed. During a subsequent boot, the index file is read along 
with the configuration file. As a result, a number of system indexes are preserved between reboots, 
including the interface index. If persistence is not required and the configuration file is 
successfully processed, then the system becomes operational. If persist is required, then a 
matching 
x.ndx file must be located and successfully processed before the system can become 
operational. Matching files (configuration and index files) must have the same filename prefix 
such as 
test123.cfg and test123.ndx and are created at the same time when a save 
command is executed. Note that the persistence option must be enabled to deploy the Network 
Management System (NMS). The default is off.
Traps, logs, and console messages are generated if problems occur and SNMP shuts down for all 
SNMP gets and sets, however, traps are issued.
