Description
Currently we do not allow anycast address assignment to switch ports. The anycast property was recently added to loopback addresses in #3626, this tracking issue is for the follow up work to plumb the logic to switch port addresses.

Start by reviewing the anycast loopback-address work in PR #3626, especially the referenced discussion, then trace how switch port addresses are assigned. Done means users can assign anycast addresses to switch ports as well as loopback addresses, with the relevant behavior covered by the project’s existing checks.
