Originally created by @Nefti-sama on GitHub (Sep 25, 2024).

NetBox version

v4.1.1

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Create multiple VLANs if a range (i.e 3100-3299) is given in "VLAN ID" of "/ipam/vlans/add/"

Use case

If you want to create a VLAN-pool for some orchestrator to use for dynamic VLAN provisioning you could use a VLAN Group for that, but you still have to create the containing VLANs to see in the GUI, that those VLANs are not "free-to-use". These could have the name pattern "Name-VLAN_ID"

Database changes

that would be cool.
I have a usecase where I have to import lots of VLANs from another data source and importing them one by one with ansible takes ages.

I am unsure how it should handle things if some VLANs inbetween the range already exists though.

We have a pattern for this today for creating ranges of IP addresses, however it needs to be reworked and standardized. I'll leave this open for anyone who's up to the task, but please do not merely replicate the existing pattern for VLANs.
