COMPONENT NAME

eos_static_route

vrf: add static route to a non default vrf

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

We need to add static routes to VRFs other than the default one. I modified eos_static_route.py to achieve this.
I wrote a test playbook, see below, that checks ip route addition and deletion for the default VRF and a new vrf.

This is the result of the test playbook using the modified eos_static_route.py.

Below is an ansible playbook that i used to test the change:
