SUMMARY
If a VRF is configured on an interface it causes parsing to fail.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
- Attempt to execute
aruba_aoscx_show_interface.textfsmagainst a device which contains at least one interface assigned to a VRF.
EXPECTED RESULTS
Interfaces are parsed successfully.
ACTUAL RESULTS
A parsing error occurs:
Parsing failed for 'show interface' command:
