Proposed functionality

Some network devices (e.g. firewall) supports HA cluster setup which is different to virtual chassis as they do not share the chassis.

Proposal is to add new data model to properly document HA network device clusters and their modes (Active/Passive; Active/Active) Within the cluster devices usually share the same configuration with some exceptions, Within HA cluster device do not share chassis and interfaces are not stacked like with switch stack.

Use case

Any network device HA cluster (Palo Alto, Cisco ASA, CheckPoint) works different to virtual chassis
