Panic Output

Expected Behavior

the interface should be configured as a L3 interface with IP address assigned

Actual Behavior

I get the following error:

dcnm_interface.RtrIntf: Creating...

│ Error: Ethernet interface can only be modified
│
│ with dcnm_interface.RtrIntf,
│ on dothings.tf line 47, in resource "dcnm_interface" "RtrIntf":
│ 47: resource "dcnm_interface" "RtrIntf" {

There's appears to be an issue with any configuration of an ethernet interface. If I attempt to just change the MTU or Ethernet speed and keep the physical interface as a L2 interface, I have a similar error:

resource "dcnm_interface" "chgPol" {
policy = "int_trunk_host"
type = "ethernet"
name = "Ethernet1/18"
switch_name_1 = "ev-leaf1"
fabric_name = "Demo1"
mtu = "jumbo"
ethernet_speed = "10Gb"
deploy = false
}

-- output---
dcnm_interface.chgPol: Creating...
╷
│ Error: Ethernet interface can only be modified
│
│ with dcnm_interface.chgPol,
│ on l3.tf line 14, in resource "dcnm_interface" "chgPol":
│ 14: resource "dcnm_interface" "chgPol" {

Steps to Reproduce

Happens all times when I run the script

1. terraform apply

Important Factoids

I can configure this in the GUI without issue
