api & test cleanups for platform differences

[chrisvanheuveln]

1. Platform excludes in the yaml file to handle N7K vs N77, mt_full vs mt_lite, etc
2. Related to the first item, these are mostly feature enablement and feature checking changes
3. Test file changes: we had a lot of tests that we couldn't run on N3/N7/N9 without proper setup and teardowns (e.g. the vxlan, vni, vlan tests that rely on mt_full need a special line card to be present, whereas the mt_lite properties don't need the card but only work on N3/N9.

[alok-aggarwal]

what about 5k and 6k ? Are they mt full or lite?

[chrisvanheuveln]

You tell me :-)

I thought 5/6k were neither at the moment but getting support for mt full at some point?

[alok-aggarwal]

Just checked with my team, 5k/6k are mt-lite, so you may wanna add them under mt-lite here.

[chrisvanheuveln]

My n56128P switch does not seem to support it:

n8k-136(config)# feature nv overlay
Error: feature nv overlay failed dependencies not satisfied yet

n8k-136(config)# feature vn-segment-vlan-based 
Error: vnseg_vlan control, vn-segment depends on feature-set fabricpath or feature nv overlay (0x411000bd)

If this is a license issue, how do I get around it? ie. how to check the current license; and how to fix it?

[alok-aggarwal]

Here's the license guide:

For now though, I suggest to add a story to backlog for adding mt-lite puppet support for 5/6k. We can look at it when we test 5/6k

[chrisvanheuveln]

Agreed.

[alok-aggarwal]

Please add 5k, 6k under mt-lite
