Display device name in OSPF Interface table and OSPF Areas assigned in OSPF Instance view #56
Description
Plugin version
v0.2.3
NetBox version
v4.1.7
Feature type
Data model extension
Proposed functionality
-
display Areas assigned to an instance. The areas visible in the card are naturally sorted by area_id (even if one happen to mix numeric with IP based area_id notation in one instance).
-
display device name in the interfaces table
Use case
It greatly enhances visibility into OSPF configuration of every instance. Instead, device name is useful in interface table, especially when looking for interfaces belonging to a particular area.
Database changes
No database changes required. It is enough to implement get_areas() method in OSPFInstance class.
External dependencies
No additional dependency needed. Already available ipaddress module can be used to sort the areas.
