Interface configuration on the Nexus 9300 via Terraform

[krzysztofmaciejewskiit]

I am unable to configure the Ethernet1/10 interface on the Nexus 9300 via Terraform. My configuration:

main.tf:

terraform {
  required_providers {
    nxos = {
      source = "CiscoDevNet/nxos"
      version = "0.5.3"
    }
  }
}

provider "nxos" {
  username = var.nxos_username
  password = var.nxos_password
  url      = var.nxos_url
}

resource "nxos_ipv4_interface" "configure_interface_nxos" {
  vrf          = "default"
  interface_id = "Ethernet1/10"
}

resource "nxos_ipv4_interface_address" "configure_interface_nxos" {
  depends_on   = [nxos_ipv4_interface.configure_interface_nxos]
  vrf          = "default"
  interface_id = "Ethernet1/10"
  address      = "${var.ip_address}/${var.mask}"
}

variables.tf:

variable "nxos_username" {
  type        = string
}
variable "nxos_password" {
  type        = string
}
variable "nxos_url" {
  type        = string
}
variable "ip_address" {
  type        = string
}
variable "mask" {
  type        = string
}

terraform.tfvars:

nxos_username = "admin"
nxos_password = "admin"
nxos_url      = "https://10.10.10.10"
ip_address    = "192.168.5.5"
mask          = "255.255.255.0"

Error:

Terraform used the selected providers to generate the following execution plan. Resource actions are indicated with the following
symbols:
+ create

Terraform will perform the following actions:

# nxos_ipv4_interface.configure_interface_nxos will be created
+ resource "nxos_ipv4_interface" "configure_interface_nxos" {
+ drop_glean = "disabled"
+ forward = "disabled"
+ id = (known after apply)
+ interface_id = "Ethernet1/10"
+ unnumbered = "unspecified"
+ urpf = "disabled"
+ vrf = "default"
}

# nxos_ipv4_interface_address.configure_interface_nxos will be created
+ resource "nxos_ipv4_interface_address" "configure_interface_nxos" {
+ address = "192.168.5.5/255.255.255.0"
+ id = (known after apply)
+ interface_id = "Ethernet1/10"
+ type = "primary"
+ vrf = "default"
}

Plan: 2 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy.

Do you want to perform these actions?
Terraform will perform the actions described above.

The error message indicates that the interface name "Ethernet1/10" is invalid. Try changing the interface_id in your Terraform configuration to "Eth1/10" instead of "Ethernet1/10".
