Need capability to switch to primary or backup manually overriding the hardware switchover. DualToR architecture in SONiC requires this manual switching capability without any packet loss for planned operation in the datacenter.
This will need a new SAI attribute in the nexthop protection group. Introducing a new enum attribute as admin_role {auto(default), primary, backup} which can override the hardware switching when not set as auto.
