Hi all
I try to import hundreds of patch panel rear-port connections. I have different sites and the rack names and patch panel names are identical in different sites. e.g. PPC-a-A01-01 for a copper patch panel in Rack A01.
The general data model of netbox supports to have identical device names in different sites.
When I try to import I get the following errors:
Enter the list of column headers followed by one line per record to be imported, using commas to separate values. Multi-line data and values containing commas may be wrapped in double quotes.
• Row 1 side_a_device: "PPC-a-A01-01" is not a unique value for this field; multiple objects were found
• Row 1 all: Termination A type has not been specified
" side_a_device: "PPC-a-A01-01" is not a unique value for this field; multiple objects were found"
Yes thats true.
Shouldn't the cable bulk import have the possibility to define the site of the device?
My trouble shooting attempts:
A) On the bottom of the cable bulk import site there is a tip:
"Related objects may be referenced by any unique attribute. For example, vrf.rd would identify a VRF by its route distinguisher."
I try to understand this and googled a lot, but I don't get it.
-Where/how can they be referenced?
-Can I reference the site?
B) I also read posts that say, that the bulk import can be customized. But I can't find any documentation about it
