Description
When configuring a L3out cisco.aci.aci_l3out of type BGP, the subsequent runs always show a change on the l3out even though nothing is being changed. It seems like this is due to the eigrpExtP, ospfExtP and pimExtP always being marked as "deleted" on the Ansible invocation side.
Affected Module Name(s):
- cisco.aci.aci_l3out
APIC version and APIC Platform
- V 5.2(8e) and on-prem.
Collection versions
- cisco.aci 2.8.0

Hi @edudppaz, I believe this has already been fixed in this commit: https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/ansible-aci/commit/f3c95ef2a990686539d51039c1cffd025259a3f4 in PR https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/ansible-aci/pull/542. We will need to release a new version of the collection. I will reach out internally for the schedule to release.
@edudppaz, new version (v2.9.0) was released 4 days ago. Please let me know if there are any issues.
Thanks , had to force the upgrade :P . just tested, the l3-out change is gone! Im closing this issue then.
