SONiC BGP lab configuration and data collection issues #57
Description
Problem
SONiC BGP lab has multiple configuration and data collection issues affecting validation reliability, including hostname mismatches, interface inconsistencies, and missing topology data.
Technical Details
Several issues impact lab validation quality:
- Device hostname in configuration does not match expected hostname
- Interfaces appear in configuration files but are missing from show command outputs
- Layer 1 topology data is missing from lab collection
Observed In
sonic_bgp_lab
Symptoms
- Configuration parsing failures due to hostname mismatches
- Interface validation errors from config/show data discrepancies
- Missing topology information affecting connectivity analysis
Configuration Patterns
SONiC BGP lab configurations with inconsistent hostname and interface data
Next Steps
Lab data collection needs to be updated to ensure consistent hostname usage, complete interface data collection, and proper Layer 1 topology generation
