Cisco IOS XRd starts interfaces as shutdown, even if config does not contain shutdown

[991jo]

I am running labs with Cisco XRd Control Plane v7.11.2.

When I start a new lab all interfaces are shutdown.

I can then configure no shutdown, however when I destroy and deploy the lab again all my links are shutdown again, even if that is not a part of the configuration. This is rather annoying.

Here is the excerpt of my config:

interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/2
 ipv4 point-to-point
 ipv4 unnumbered Loopback0
 ipv6 enable
!

And that's what's in the config after destory + deploy:

interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/2
 ipv4 point-to-point
 ipv4 unnumbered Loopback0
 ipv6 enable
 shutdown
!

Everything else I have set is still in place as intended, so the config itself is loaded as intended. Is there a way to work around this in containerlab?

Hi @991jo are you saying that your config that you persist on the xrd device is rendered as intended after you redeploy, but in addition to your config the shutdown statement is added after the redeploy?

@991jo I'm not seeing this behaviour on XRd vCP 7.10.2. This is kind of weird as I believe on the physical platforms if you don't explicitly no shut the interface is down by default.
