Support for FEC in nxos_interfaces

[clammers]

SUMMARY

Support for a FEC configuration in nxos_interfaces would be great. We had a lot of issues with SFP28 adapters with different vendors so that we are forced to specify another FEC setting on some N9Ks. Having this feature directly in the module will help a lot

ISSUE TYPE

COMPONENT NAME

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

fec: <auto|fc-fec|off|rs-cons16|rs-fec|rs-ieee>

would solve errors in auto neg on FEC with SFP28 adapters

Any updates on this?

@praveenramoorthy @mikewiebe The virtual N9Ks we have access to, do not seem to support FEC. Could you please help with this? Thank you.
