Show peer interfaces in circuit detail view
NetBox version
v3.7.2
Feature type
New functionality
Proposed functionality
When viewing details for a circuit, you will see where the circuit terminations are connected. The way we model things, we'll almost always terminate a circuit in a rear port of a patch panel or similar. It would be handy if we could have a direct link to the interface connected at the end of the path on each end.
For example: In addition to showing "Termination: #123 to Patch Panel 456, 7-8", add a row to this view to show "Termination Interface: router123, 4/5" with links to the appropriate device and interface.
This functionality is already in Netbox, but it's an extra step to have to do a trace of the cable on either end to get the interface.
Use case
Quickly identifying associated interfaces and devices, given a circuit ID.
Database changes
None, all the data is already in Netbox since it can already be accessed using a cable trace.
External dependencies
None.
