Hi,

Does anyone know of a way to do a Cold Start of the SNMP agent on a
router without doing a reload of the whole router? I tried a "no
snmp-server" then a "snmp-server community ..." but that just does a
warm start. My problem is that when I add subinterfaces the SNMP
instance numbering can be different after a router reload, but I don't
want to be forced to reload the router just because I added/removed a
subinterface. I don't think "snmp mib persist" is what I'm looking for,
since I don't mind if the instances change, I just don't want to reboot
the router for the changes to take effect.

Thanks,
Deric Sullivan

Don't know about doing a cold-start on the SNMP server process..

But you do want to add the 'snmp-server ifindex persist' config statement.
