eos_bgp_global bestpath syntax

[rlangus]

SUMMARY

code snippet below bgp_params: bestpath: as_path: "multipath_relax"

results in: ansible.module_utils.connection.ConnectionError: bgp bestpath as-path multipath_relax % Invalid input

because the Arista command is actually "bgp bestpath as-path multipath-relax"

Note the underscore in the module (multipath_relax) versus the dash in the actual command (multipath-relax). One cannot enter the correct syntax with the dash into the module.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Attempt to update BGP configuration with "bgp bestpath as-path multipath_relax" fails when entered manually or via module.

---
  - name: "Configure BGP"
    hosts: routers
    ignore_errors: no

    tasks:
      - name: Create basic BGP global configuration
        arista.eos.eos_bgp_global:
          config:
            bgp_params:
              bestpath:
                as_path: "multipath_relax"
          state: replaced

EXPECTED RESULTS

Expect module to send "bgp bestpath as-path multipath-relax" when configured as in the yml snippet above.

ACTUAL RESULTS

ansible.module_utils.connection.ConnectionError: bgp bestpath as-path multipath_relax
% Invalid input

If I changed the code snippet to 'as-path: "multipath-relax"', encounter error: value of as_path must be one of: ignore, multipath_relax, got: multipath-relax found in config -> bgp_params -> bestpath
