Description of PR
This PR is to skip 'bgp shutdown all' for modular chassis in arp/test_neighbor_mac_noptf.py
Summary:
Fixes # (issue)
Type of change
Back port request
Approach
What is the motivation for this PR?
Teat case 'arp/test_neighbor_mac_noptf.py' brings all bgp down, In case of Modular chassis testcase fails because VOQ chassis has extra routes so when script brings bgp down and verify for the routes and expects routes should be zero never works.
How did you do it?
To Take care of this failure, we do not shutdown all BGP neighbors for a modular chassis.
The reasons are:-
To get all the routes to be flushed could be very complex. Also, the reason that the BGP shutdown was added was because on some DUT's are overwhelmed with the BGP updates and thus causing this test to intermittently fail. However, we don't see such intermittent failure on linecards of a VoQ chassis which has 12K routes in a T2 topology - possibly because CPU is powerful.
How did you verify/test it?
Verified on VOQ chassis
Any platform specific information?
Supported testbed topology if it's a new test case?
