Configuring Port Assignments Fails - Timeout too early?

[richwats]

I'm trying to use TF to configurre port assigments in my lab but I'm having a few issues. Happy to have a chat/demonstrate if anyone is interested from the BU.

resource "catalystcenter_fabric_port_assignment" "edge2" {
  fabric_id         = catalystcenter_fabric_site.lab_building.id
  network_device_id = catalystcenter_fabric_device.edge2.network_device_id
  port_assignments = [
    {
      fabric_id                  = catalystcenter_fabric_site.lab_building.id
      network_device_id          = catalystcenter_fabric_device.edge2.network_device_id
      interface_name             = "GigabitEthernet1/0/3"
      connected_device_type      = "USER_DEVICE"
      data_vlan_name             = catalystcenter_anycast_gateway.lab_hosts.vlan_name
      # voice_vlan_name            = "VOICE_VLAN"
      authenticate_template_name = "No Authentication"
    }
  ]
}

I have a couple of issues

1. When I try to configure just one port it times out after 30s, however the configuration is successfully pushed (intent updated and deployed to switch). I would have expected an option (?) on whether to deploy the intent change but it seems this resource automatically deploys the configuration change.

2. If I try to configure multiple ports in parallel, the configuration fails as the intent database / resource version is now incorrect for the 2nd and 3rd ports etc. I have also seen this behavior when configuring fabric device roles.

[richwats]

Terraform v1.8.3 on darwin_arm64

• provider registry.terraform.io/ciscodevnet/catalystcenter v0.1.11

[danischm]

Which version of Catalyst Center is this?

[richwats]

Sorry - Catalyst Center 2.3.7

[danischm]

I have just published v0.1.12 which changes the default timeout for asynchronous operations to 60 seconds and also makes it configurable via a provider attribute. If you have a chance please test again with the updated version.

[danischm]

Have you had a chance to test this with the latest release?
