issue #275 fixed.

lab test, changed from eq=auto to ne=auto , to have test output:

Fixes #275

[monrog2]

The current implementation applies FAIL_O to every in-use host interface policy whose speed is set to auto, regardless of hardware or topology. However, the authoritative CSCwh11580 defect record limits the trigger to an ACI leaf connected to an N9K-C9372-PX. As written, unaffected fabrics will receive a critical outage warning.

Please restrict FAIL_O to the verified defect conditions. Generic speed="auto" best-practice violations can instead be reported as MANUAL. Please also document the CSCwh11580 scope and add tests covering affected and unaffected hardware, including the result payload—not only the status.

The linked Cisco guide does support recommending inherit, and the Python 2.7/3.8 CI checks pass. The PR currently conflicts with its base, so the resolved merge diff will also need validation.

Host Interface Policy Set to Auto — integration test summary

The updated check executed on 15 fabrics:

Result	Count
PASS	14
FAIL - OUTAGE WARNING	1
MANUAL	0
ERROR	0

Positive detection

One fabric contained an in-use host interface policy configured with speed="auto":

Host Interface Policy  Set Speed  Associated Interface Policy Group  Group Type
---------------------  ---------  ---------------------------------  -----------
<redacted-policy>      auto       <redacted-policy-group>            PC/vPC
<redacted-policy>      auto       <redacted-policy-group>            Leaf Access

Summary

• The policy was correctly identified as being consumed by two interface policy groups.
• Both policy-group types were classified correctly.
• The previous N/A output for the PC/vPC group was resolved.
• The remaining 14 fabrics passed.
• No check-specific parsing errors, manual results, or unexpected exceptions occurred.
• Unused policies configured with speed="auto" were not reported, as designed.
