Yes - that will always be the case, due to the indexing of the rows.
The rows of this table are ordered by IP address, so 127.0.0.1 will
always come before 192.168.2.101 (since 127 < 192)

If you used a different IP address for your local network,
such as 10.168.2.101, then this entry would come *before* 127.0.0.1
(since 10 < 127)

What SNMP agent are you querying?
This doesn't look like the Net-SNMP agent, since we'd typically
use ifIndex values of 1, 2, 3, etc

My suspicion is that you're using the standard Microsoft SNMP agent,
as I seem to recall reading that it uses this form of "base+offset"
indexing for network interfaces.

In which case, you'd need to speak to Microsoft about whether/how
to renumber the interfaces. But I strongly suspect they'll tell
you it's not possible.


What are you actually trying to do?
