Add device and interface to circuits endpoints #7586

Closed mirackle-spb closed 2 years ago

mirackle-spb commented 2 years ago

NetBox version

v3.0.2

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

Add ability to specify device and interface for circuits endpoints. This will allow you to keep track of the overlay networks, and their connection points. In addition, it will expand the possibilities for further integration and automation for the automatic assembly of superimposed networks by telecom operators.

Use case

VxLAN/VPWS/VPLS endpoints can be specified in more detail. This information is enough to carry out automatic assembly / disassembly of connections. In addition, it will allow you to keep more accurate records.

What you're describing are virtual circuits, which NetBox does not currently support. There has been much discussion on this topic; please search past issues and discussions here on GitHub.

Virtual circuits or physical circuits - both have device and interface at endpoint. What is the difference?
