CONFIGURATION

CONFIG_FILE() = /home/ichakarov/arista-switches/ansible.cfg

OS / ENVIRONMENT

Arista vEOS-lab Software image version: 4.31.1F

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Run a play which configures VRFs and assign interfaces to it. The play works as expected if this is new configuration. Unfortunately, if the configuration is already present on the device, it doesn't care and push the same changes. For example we already have the following configuration applied on a switch and we run the task:

interface Vlan10
   vrf blue_vrf
   ip address 10.1.1.1/30
!
interface Vlan20
   vrf red_vrf
   ip address 10.1.2.1/30

  arista.eos.eos_vrf: 
    aggregate:
      - name: blue_vrf
        interfaces:
          - Vlan10
      - name: red_vrf
        interfaces:
          - Vlan20

EXPECTED RESULTS

I expect that Ansible checks the running configuration of the switch, sees that the configuration is already there and does nothing.
