Synopsis

• This module allows a server team to provision server network ports for new servers without having to access Arista CVP or asking the network team to do it for them. Provide the information for connecting to CVP, switch rack, port the new server is connected to, optional vlan, and an action and the module will apply the configuration to the switch port via CVP. Actions are add (applies template config to port), remove (defaults the interface config) and show (returns the current port config).
