NetBox version

v4.1.6

Feature type

New functionality

Triage priority

N/A

Proposed functionality

When we have to remove a device that is connected over many patch panels it's hard to generate a list of cables that are involved for that device connected to other devices.

Use case

Currently you can trace each interface and have the SVG for that specific interface.
Working with a device with large number of interfaces this isn't practical.

The goal is to have a list of cables for a specific device that is generated for the complete E2E path to the other end device.
Additionally it would also be useful to have just a specific interface path trace be shown in a cable list format.
This list could than be exported and provided to an engineer that could remove the cables line by line.

This would be very useful.

Would like to add also the ability to trace until the last point if a trace is incomplete.
Also the ability to be done on a device that has only front-ports or rear-ports, say you want to evaluate all the E2E connections that pass in one patchpannel.

Potentially add a table under the SVG that has the cables in it. Could be either low or medium complexity depending on how straight-forward this is but think it is probably low.
