NetBox version
v4.0.8
Feature type
Change to existing functionality
Proposed functionality
There are many different channel selection options when selecting the 'wireless channel' dropdown in the 'wireless' section of adding/editing an interface.
Please add 'Auto' as an option.
Use case
Many access points these days are managed in such a way that a central controller (on-prem or cloud) is constantly listening on all the radios to check for interference. And if found, will automatically change the channel on the radio for an access point.
Having an option to select 'auto' would correctly model access point radio interfaces that automatically change/update the channel they use rather than having an individual channel specifically assigned.
