Support ToR Pairing for Pre-Provisioned Switches in NDFC Framework

Which role would this new feature be associated?

cisco.nac_dc_vxlan.dtc.create

New feature description:

Description:

Currently, when using ToR switches in the NDFC framework, ToR pairing must be configured manually via the GUI. This is the only step in the workflow that cannot be automated when working with ToR switches.

Problem:

The framework does not support ToR pairing for pre-provisioned switches (i.e., switches defined in the fabric before POAP).

Even if ToR pairing is included in the fabric intent, it cannot be applied until after the switches have been POAP’d.

This creates a challenge when trying to build a fully automated and scalable solution that works for both pre-provisioned and POAP’d devices.

Would this be a new feature requiring a new role?

Enable support for ToR pairing of pre-provisioned switches in NDFC, ideally by allowing intent-based pairing configuration to be staged and automatically pushed once the switch is POAP’d.

Which section of the data model is the new feature related?

vxlan.topology

Would this be a new feature requiring a new addition to the data model?

Yes, it should be defined in the vxlan.topology.
