Originally created by @nokiaIL on GitHub (Jul 28, 2024).

NetBox version

v4.0.7

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

as working with Nokia equipment, some modules are ports that support breakout type.
for example: 100G interface can be:

  • 1 port of 100G - 1/1/c1/1
  • 4 ports of 10G - 1/1/c1/[1-4]
  • 10 ports of 10G - 1/1/c1/[1-10]

add a child interface type to support breakout functionally.

Use case

Better documentation of ports can help to understand which cable type is connected to the port, fiber, or breakout cable.
can help with configuration as if you know it's breakout - it may need some extra configuration to support.

Database changes

I don't think so.

External dependencies

no

@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Jul 29, 2024):

4 ports of 10G - 1/1/c1/[1-4]

Each of these is a discrete interface, and should be modeled as such in NetBox. A cable can be connected to multiple interfaces at either end to model the breakout.
