[c-nsp] ifindex persistence

[Colin Whittaker]

It used to work great but of late it has become very unreliable when you
upgrade the IOS on the device. HAve observered this behaviour on many
different IOS releases during the last 6 months/1 year on various 
platforms including GSR/7600/7200/3725/Cat3750. 

We have started using the interface name rather than depending on the
ifindex to remain stable. With MRTG this is achieved with the
--ifref=name option to cfgmaker.

Regards,

Colin
