Description

Currently mso_schema_site_anp_epg_bulk_staticport supports configuring path_type port behind fex:

static_ports {
    path_type            = "port"
    leaf                 = "1273"
    path                 = "eth1/4"
    vlan                 = 207
    fex                  = "110"
  }

This will create a path: "topology/pod-1/paths-1273/extpaths-1110/pathep-[eth1/4]"

In our setup we have a scenario where customer has a VPC configured behind a pair of fex switches, and it doesnt seem to be supported in the current resource.
The example path that should be generated: "topology/pod-2/protpaths-1273-1274/extprotpaths-111-111/pathep-[VPC1]"
In this case there are two fex 111 connected behind leaf switches 1273 and 1274.

If we import existing config it would result in a weird output:

static_ports {
    deployment_immediacy = "lazy"
    fex                  = null
    leaf                 = "1273-1274/extprotpaths-111-111" 
    mode                 = "regular"
    path                 = "VPC1"
    path_type            = "vpc"
    pod                  = "pod-2"
    vlan                 = 50

Potential Terraform Configuration

We could reuse the same mechanism as for leaf, where we either specify single fex id for port or list for vpc

static_ports {
    deployment_immediacy = "lazy"
    fex                  = "111-111"
    leaf                 = "1273-1274"   <----
    mode                 = "regular"
    path                 = "VPC1"
    path_type            = "vpc"
    pod                  = "pod-2"
    vlan                 = 50
