Add EVPN-VPWS to the L2VPNTypeChoices Choice set. #17216

Open caskings opened 3 weeks ago

caskings commented 3 weeks ago

NetBox version

v4.0.9

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

EVPN-VPWS is a point to point L2VPN service that breaks the current model for VPWS and other P2P types in the L2VPN termination list as it allows for multiple interfaces across multiple network devices to the same endpoint or location. In either an Active / Active or Active / Passive mode.

Suggested change

Add TYPE_EVPN_VPWS to the L2VPNTypeChoices class, but don't add it to L2VPNTypeChoices.P2P

Relevant RFC: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8214

Use case

This would allow Netbox users to model EVPN-VPWS separately from RFC4664 type VPWS which doesn't support Active / Active across multiple devices to the same location.

My work is moving towards EVPN-VPWS as well. This would be a nice addition to model.
