Thank you for opening a bug report. Unfortunately, the information you have provided is not sufficient for someone else to attempt to reproduce the reported behavior. Remember, each bug report must include detailed steps that someone else can follow on a clean, empty NetBox installation to reproduce the exact problem you're experiencing. These instructions should include the creation of any involved objects, any configuration changes, and complete accounting of the actions being taken. Also be sure that your report does not reference data on the public NetBox demo, as that is subject to change at any time by an outside party and cannot be relied upon for bug reports.

im revert to backup to version 3.6.1, on version 3.6.1, the available Ip Addressess option appears normaly.

After upgrade to versions 3.6.2 following the instructions

https://docs.netbox.dev/en/stable/installation/upgrading/

the Available IP Addresses does not appears anymore.

I have only few customizations to default netbox versions:

I have the plugin "topology_views", the error continues when disabling the plugin and i have some custom validators on the confgiuration.py file:

below my configuration.py file:

from extras.validators import CustomValidator

class cvReservationMAC(CustomValidator):
    def validate(self, instance):
        if instance.status == 'dhcp' and not instance.cf["MAC_Address"]:
            self.fail("DHCP Reservations must have Mac Address!", field='cf_MAC_Address')

class cvReservationDNSName(CustomValidator):
    def validate(self, instance):
        if instance.status == 'dhcp' and not instance.dns_name:
            self.fail("DHCP Reservations must have DNS Name!", field='dns_name')

CUSTOM_VALIDATORS = {
    'ipam.ipaddress': (
        cvReservationMAC(),
        cvReservationDNSName(),
    )

Its basically a default netbox install, can i collect more logs to help track the bug?

[jonatangobbato]

Problem persists even when commenting the lines of custom validators and Jinja Filters on configuration.py

I have the same problem. Our service desk uses the Netbox's IPAM part to reserve IP addresses on the DHCP server (A script was written to keep Netbox's IPAM data up-to-date with the DHCP server)

For convenience the team filtered the IP's by status in a prefix, so the available IP's appeared in the top or bottom, but now it's not possible after the changes. I received multiple tickets about the missing available IP's and it took me a while to figure it out and it's hard to reteach people how to use it.

I tried to find the change about this, sadly I didn't find anything. I think it should be wise to note these changes about the fronted usage of Netbox in the future.

I read this issue, IMHO now it's not a good behavior as it works, it should be working as previously, because 'available' is also a status of an IP address. I kindly ask to revert it back as it was, because if someone is using the IPAM part of Netbox as a living clone of a DHCP server, the available IP's should be also part of a status ordering.

[jonatangobbato]

I think that relates to this #11209

[jonatangobbato]

@abhi1693 can we help with some more information?

[jeremystretch]

@jonatangobbato when you navigate to user preferences, do you see an ordering set for the IP addresses table under "Table Configurations?" If so, try clearing that and see if it resolves the issue.

@haki99 #11209 was a valid bug fix and will not be reverted. If you want to change the way the application works, you are welcome to fork it and modify the code yourself to fit your specific needs.

[jonatangobbato]

@jeremystretch , i have no ordering set for Ip Address Table, only for show colums:

But, whem removing the user preference in Ip Address Table, Available IPs appears normally after upgrade.

After upgrade, i have added the columns to the table and the Available IPs appears normally, seems to be something with the upgrade proccess when preferences are set, ordering preferences or any other.

For now, thats worked. Thank you @jeremystretch

[jeremystretch]

@jonatangobbato thanks for following up. It's very strange that clearing the table preferences resolved the issue when no ordering was set. Maybe it was tied to a custom field that had since been deleted? It's difficult to know without inspecting the raw preferences data (which is gone now).

I'm going to close this out as I don't believe there's anything further we can do at this point without confirmed reproduction steps. I'm happy to re-open this if anyone encounters the same issue and can successfully reproduce it.
