SNMP ifIndex MIB Object Values
In an NMS, the IF-MIB generates and assigns an interface index (ifIndex) object value that is a unique
number greater than zero to identify a physical or a logical interface. When the switch reboots or the
switch software is upgraded, the switch uses this same value for the interface. For example, if the switch
assigns a port 2 an ifIndex value of 10003, this value is the same after the switch reboots.
The switch uses one of the values in Table 30-3 to assign an ifIndex value to an interface:
Note The switch might not use sequential values within a range.
