Arista not pulling bgp peers with local address as interface

[lovkeshw131]

I adding this in my local repo and it worked and tried to create a PR but looks like i don't have permssions. Can you guys please look into it and add it or modify it

        if group_or_neighbor.startswith('interface'):
            # Arista supports defining interface names as a peer for v6
            # It used link local address to establish such peers
            # eg: neighbor interface Po20 peer-group XYZ-V6 remote-as XXX
            peer_address = group_or_neighbor + ' ' + options[0]
            # It will pick up interface and interface name, eg: interface Po20
            options = options[1:]
            if peer_address not in bgp_neighbors:
                bgp_neighbors[peer_address] = default_neighbor_dict(local_as)
            if options[0] == "peer-group":
                bgp_neighbors[peer_address]["__group"] = options[1]
            elif options[0] == "peer" and options[1] == "group":
                bgp_neighbors[peer_address]["__group"] = options[2]
            bgp_neighbors[peer_address].update(
                parse_options(options, default_value)
            )
        else:
            try:
                # will try to parse the neighbor name
                # which sometimes is the IP Address of the neigbor
                # or the name of the BGP group
                ipaddress.ip_address(group_or_neighbor)
                # if passes the test => it is an IP Address, thus a Neighbor!
                peer_address = group_or_neighbor

Can you be a bit more clear on the problem here?

• What getter are you trying to run and running into an issue?
• What traceback (if any?)
• if we are failing on parsing an output, do you know / can you provide what the router is sending to NAPALM?

device_driver = napalm.get_network_driver("eos")

device = device_driver(hostname="xxx", username="xx.x", password="xxx", optional_args={'transport': 'ssh'})
a=device.get_bgp_config()

a.keys()
dict_keys(['abc', 'interface'])

In above, instead of adding interface number in an existing bgp group, it added a new group interface

Actual configuration is like below:

neighbor interface Po20 peer-group XYZ-V6 remote-as XXX

It considers interface as a group name in above and creates a peer group there without any other config
