Extend VLAN Group scoping to Devices and Virtual Chassis #14803

Open dago158 opened 7 months ago

dago158 commented 7 months ago

NetBox version

v3.6.4

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

Extended to enable scoping of VLAN Groups to DCIM > Devices an DCIM > Virtual Chassis

Use case

Actually, VLAN Group scoping is currently limited to clusters (virtualization) or locations (DCIM).

In Layer 3 leaf-spine networks configurations include access VLAN networks that are specific to spines,wether individual switches or switches pair (MLAG).

It's not possible to properly link the information between the VLANs / VLAN Group and devices that way, as there can be multiple VLANs with same ID at the same site/location/rack but on different devices.

Database changes

None

External dependencies

None

Thanks for your interest in helping improve NetBox. I'm moving this issue along for engineering review, because I'm not sure whether this work can be done within an existing release train. It may need to be scheduled out for a minor release boundary.

It sounds like what you're really after is probably captured by #14451.
