Add optional Site field to WirelessLAN model

Open tyler-8 opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

NetBox version

v3.3.5

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

Add an optional ForeignKey field pointing to Site for the WirelessLAN model.

Also show the Site relation in the various GUI components where applicable: WirelessLAN detail & list views (as column and filter), the Site detail page "Related Objects" table, etc.

Use case

With more than a few SSIDs in NetBox it can be a challenge to identify where exactly a WLAN resides without digging into the related VLAN information, or the related interface/device attachments.

Additionally, given that VLAN<->site membership is optional, and a WLAN may be documented without physical interface relationships, it creates more possible confusion. Having the Site relationship be clearly & directly established with the WirelessLAN would improve the documentation capabilities vastly.

Database changes
