I wont speak for EX, since I am not sure. But for M/MX/T/TX the SNMP index for interfaces (used for graphing for instance) should not change due to reboot. I have not seen that in my small lab at least.
What JUNOS version do you see this in?

Unbelievable. This provokes me! I really hope that the idiot(s) that made this design desicion are no longer working at Juniper. Hey, Juniper, if you're reading this: Do you think that I ENJOY wasting hours of my to clear up the mess this <feature> has caused, you're sadly mistaken! Not only is it fscking annoying - I use the data in my graphs for accounting too (and I think that's pretty common to do), so now valuable data used for invoicing customers is lost forever. And this was only for the MXes! My EXes have 100s of graphs... I don't want to even think about the hassle it would be to fix all of those manually. > Public interfaces get snmp ifIndex numbers *after* private interfaces, > so every time the private interfaces (whatever they exactly are) change, > the index numbers of public interfaces will change as well. And yes, > that is big PITA and very lame. Jesus. So reserve some room for the private interfaces and enumerate public ones staring from ifIndex 100 or 1000 or whatever, then. That wasn't too hard now was it? Juniper: to simpy say that this is just <expected behaviour> is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE, it's a DEFECT, and it NEEDS to be FIXED. *fumes* -- Tore Anderson Redpill Linpro AS - http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
