### Expected Behavior
VRF lite configuration is applied to border gateway.
### Actual Behavior
Task fails but VRF is actually created in NDFC, but not attached to the Border Gateway. The VRF-lite extension is also saved in NDFC database but, before the VRF can be attached and given the role of the device includes border gateway, the extension type (vrf lite + multisite) must be selected before VRF can be attached.
### Steps to Reproduce
Attach a VRF with VRF-lite enabled to a device with border gateway role.
### References
@gnakh Could you share the playbook fully, related config file and variable details
Hi @gnakh, I checked with the above outputs, tried with a similar minimal task and see that it's succeeded. As a result, closing the issue. Please feel free to reopen it if you see the issue again and help us with the playbook, configs and variables.
Thanks, Akshay
