Implementing Cisco Enterprise Advanced Routing and Services (ENARSI) — Question 142

A network administrator performed a Compact Flash Memory upgrade on a Cisco Catalyst 6509 Switch. Everything is functioning normally except SNMP, which was configured to monitor the bandwidth of key interfaces but the interface indexes are changed.
Which global configuration resolves the issue?

Answer options

• A. snmp-server ifindex persist
• B. snmp-server ifindex permanent
• C. snmp ifindex persist
• D. snmp ifindex permanent

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The command 'snmp-server ifindex persist' allows the system to maintain consistent interface indexes across reboots, addressing the issue caused by the memory upgrade. The other options either do not exist or do not provide the required persistence for interface indexes, making them ineffective for this scenario.
