NetBox version

v3.7.5

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Add the capability to add or assign device out-of-band IP addresses by bulk import or update.

Add an "is_oob" field to the IP address bulk import feature

Use case

  • When importing IPs, it is currently possible to assign those IPs as the "Primary" IP for a device.
  • Out-of-band IP status cannot be assigned in this manner during the bulk import or subsequent bulk update of IPs or devices.
  • Out-of-band IP status is frequently overlooked because it cannot be bulk added or updated.

Database changes

None.

External dependencies

None.

Edit for clarity

May be a duplicate of 16801, but that issue has closed for no update.

Was working on it and was wondering : if implemeted on bulk_import, shouldn't be added on IPAddressForm too to keep consistency ? It could be a box to check (like : "make it primary") under :

edit : I think that feature is asked on #17889

I too would like to see this functionality added.

Currently there is an option to make an address the primary using the is_primary field under the bulk add IP Address form.
It would be good to have something like this for the OOB here also as @andy-lawson has suggested like is_oob
