Inconsistencies between nxos and nxos-ssh driver for get_facts()

[ktbyers]

get_facts() on nxos_ssh returns abbreviated interface (from show ip int brief); nx-api returns canonical interface names.

Also model results differs between the two.

[FloLaco]

Reminder of what is different between two

on nxos : "hostname": "XXXX", on nxos_ssh : "hostname": "XXXX.YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY",

on nxos : "model": "Nexus 3048 Chassis", on nxos_ssh : "model": "Nexus",

on nxos : "os_version": "7.0(3)I4(7)", on nxos_ssh : "os_version": "",

and interface name different too

[ktbyers]

@Rian83 Can you post the output for these four commands from that device above:

show_hostname.txt
show_hosts.txt
show_interface_status.txt
show_version.txt

Note, the model and os_version looks like a bug on NXOS_SSH.

You will also have to provide more details on interface name different too

[FloLaco]

@ktbyers Yes version is a bug which I fixed. I'll do a PR on that. For model also because some has (brackets) at the end (for sup module) and some don't.

And here's my equipment. I discover that N3K and N9K does not have the same CLI output (as usual :( )

I've installed titanium NXOSv for test on another plateform. My NXOS json :

@ktbyers Should we produce the same napalm output for nxos and nxos_ssh drivers ? Because, for example, show hostname is showing our fqdn on the CLI but the API not.
