Under very rare cases we can run into a race condition where interfaces are still in creation phase but are already referenced..
This can trigger:
File "/usr/libexec/vyos/conf_mode/system_conntrack.py", line 270, in <module>
apply(c)
File "/usr/libexec/vyos/conf_mode/system_conntrack.py", line 249, in apply
call_dependents()

mod.verify(c)

if len(get_ipv4(interface)) < 1:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/vyos/template.py", line 458, in get_ipv4
return Interface(interface).get_addr_v4()
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

if not self.iftype:
^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'Interface' object has no attribute 'iftype'This commit removes the code path in question and the class attribute check. The reason for the iftype attribute in the past was a common _create() method serving for all interface types. As we already have a lot of derived implementations and not all honor the classes iftype/type member - or even worse honor it only in 50% of the occurrences it's time to drop it.
