NeophyteHow is everyone else handling network interface ID changes?
We run into this issue pretty often where let’s say a switch stack role changes and now all the interfaces have their ID change and now our techs are confused why there are duplicate interfaces and a port is reporting down when it’s up on the switch.
Example:
OLD: TenGigabitEthernet2/1/1 [ID:61]
NEW: TenGigabitEthernet2/1/1 [ID:120]
Is the process really to now delete all 30+ duplicate interfaces that had their ID change, lose all the historical data from that interface and update any dashboards that we were maybe monitoring that specific port ID?
I’ve opened a ticket and they are leading me to believe this is by design and everyone else just deals with this flaw?
Please let me know otherwise.
Thanks!
Is `snmp ifindex persist` an option? That should maintain ifindices through the various changes like reboots or role changes.
