[j-nsp] SNMP interface index change after upgrade to 9.2

[Ethern M., Lin]

Dear all,

I do have the same problem. I am using M320, M120.
I upgrade from 9.1R2.10 to 9.3R1.7, and my flow analysis can't get the
right result because one of my analysis depends on the interface snmp
index.

Hope Juniper guy can response and get it fixed.

cheers,
Ethern
