Support for L3 interface support in connected endpoints (M&E and AI Fabric)

[sarunac]

Enhancement summary

Support L3 capabilities in connected endpoints. AVD currently only supports L2 for connected endpoints. This is beneficial for both M&E and AI deployments.

Which component of AVD is impacted

eos_designs

Use case example

M&E and AI deployments currently use following configs for L3 endpoints,

For M&E fabric,

interface Ethernet{{ interface }}
description {{ description }}
no shutdown
mtu {{mtu number}}
no switchport
ip address {{ ipv4_address }}/{{prefix /30 or /31 or /29}}
ptp enable
ptp sync-message interval -3
ptp announce interval 0
ptp transport ipv4
ptp announce timeout 3
ptp delay-req interval -3
ptp role {{roleName}}
multicast ipv4 static or pim ipv4 sparse-mode
no error-correction encoding (should not be default config)
ip helper-address 10.246.32.8 # DHCP ip helper
ip helper-address 10.247.32.8
ip igmp last-member-query-count 0
speed

For AI Fabric, following sub config is also beneficial,
service-profile QOS-CPU-PROFILE"

Describe the solution you would like

• Ability to set routed endpoints . ( It may be useful to lump them all in one file to support large deployments)
• Ability to mention this for a range of interfaces
• Ability to set this for range of interfaces and also able to group them if possible
  example: EtX-Y is all for EndpointA with dedicated pool of ip address and qos profile
• Ability to allocate a pool of ip addresses and distribute it as /31 or /30 or /29.
• Ability to handle breakouts.
• Optional: Being able to pull endpoint data (interface description, ip address, etc) from Netbox

Describe alternatives you have considered

Using profiles and separate yml files in host_vars for every switch having connected endpoint.
