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.
