NetBox version

v4.1.3

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

By incorporating the RD in the prefix import, the system can correctly assign the prefixes to the respective VRF, avoiding ambiguity.

Use case

Assume I have the same VRF name in two different autonomous systems (AS):
VRF-A with RD 65000:10
VRF-A with RD 65001:10

(Record 1 vrf: "VRF-A" is not a unique value for this field; multiple objects were found)

Database changes

I found the answer myself in the footer of the import page.
Related objects may be referenced by any unique attribute. For example, vrf.rd would identify a VRF by its route distinguisher.
