Improve "LLDP Neighbors" panel by using MAC address #402

Closed BegBlev closed 3 years ago

BegBlev commented 3 years ago

In our data center, "LLDP Neighbors" panel is very usefull for checking connectivity between switches and routers as we can configure LLDP field content. image

When come servers (Dell, HP...) this is not the same story. By default iDRAC sends MAC address.

My improvement proposal is the following: "If, in Netbox, the server interface has a MAC adress configured on it (ex r640-197/em1), and, if Napalm returns a MAC address and if both MAC address match then the line should be green"

If proposal is accepted or, at least, seems to be interesting to some of you I will submit the relevant code modification.

Best regards Vince
