Expected Behavior

For fast-provision bare metal servers (the only type supported by the CLI), only unbonded interfaces support 10 Gbps. However, both create-options and create commands exclude unbonded uplinks when consulting the catalog for port speed options. Therefore, it is not currently possible to provision a bare-metal server via the CLI with a 10 Gbps port speed. While this can be worked around by using the Python API, ideally this should be an option supported by the CLI.

A modified version of the CLI could yield something like the following when running 'slcli hardware create-options':

:...........................................:.......:
: port_speed : value :
:...........................................:.......:
: 10 Mbps Public & Private Network Uplinks : 10 :
: 100 Mbps Public & Private Network Uplinks : 100 :
: 1 Gbps Public & Private Network Uplinks : 1000 :
: 10 Gbps Dual Public & Private Network Uplinks (Unbonded) : 10000 :
:...........................................:.......:

This would then allow '--port-speed=10000' to be selected via the 'slcli hardware create' command.

Actual Behavior

:...........................................:.......:
: port_speed : value :

: 10 Mbps Public & Private Network Uplinks : 10 :
: 100 Mbps Public & Private Network Uplinks : 100 :
: 1 Gbps Public & Private Network Uplinks : 1000 :
