Filter subnets based on tenants

Open Dirimsa opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

NetBox version

v3.2.8

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Filter and assign subnets based on the tenant which it is assigned to.

When you have a huge network with multiple tenants which overlay some network areas then the child subnets are assigned to all the parent subnets and are not filtered any further.

  • Tenant A: 10.0.0.0/8
  • Tenant B: 10.0.0.0/8
  • Tenant C: 10.0.0.0/8
  • Tenant A First Subnet: - 10.120.24.0/22
  • Tenant A Second Subnet: -- 10.120.25.0/24

When you have a setup like the above the the 2 child subnets from Tenant A are assigned to the parent subnets of Tenant A and Tenant B and Tenant C as well.

Having a filter in place which assigns children based on the tenant would further increase the visibility and accessibility towards the data in a huge network environment.

Use case

Adding this functionality increases

  • visibility
  • data quality
  • tenant management with their subnets

in larger network areas which are assigned in netbox
