EFA snmp host config with app state cfg-entry-deleted

[b00d]

Hi

Our EFA is reporting a config drift on some extreme switches at the snmp host config part.
When checking the drift, it's a snmp host which has been deleted on the switch.
On almost all switches, this could be solved by executing the EFA command to delete the snmp host.

But there are a few less switches where this isn't possible:

(efa:extreme)extreme@tpvm2-lss04m:~$ efa inventory device snmp host list --ip 10.99.99.74

If i create a new entry for snmp host 10.99.99.10 from EFA to the switch, a second one is created which is "cfg-in-sync". And sending the snmp host delete command after ceration, the "cfg-in-sync" entry disappears, but never the one which has app-state "cfg-entry-deleted".

How can we get rid of this "cfg-entry-deleted" snmp host?

When the app state of an entity is marked as cfg-entry-deleted, it indicates that the configuration entry has been removed and will be reconciled as part of the Drift and Reconcile (DRC) process. Try to run the DRC with --reconcile option to fix this.

efa inventory drift-reconcile execute --ip=10.99.99.74 - this command will tell you the Drift in configuration 

efa inventory drift-reconcile execute --ip=10.99.99.74 --reconcile - this command will make the changes.
