NetBox version

v4.1.6

Feature type

New functionality

Triage priority

I volunteer to perform this work (if approved)

Proposed functionality

Add an available column for the Interfaces table that displays a list of the Virtual IPs assigned to the FHRP groups assigned to the interface.

The new column would look like the existing IP Adresses column, expect it would show the associated virtual IPs instead of the directly assigned IPs.

Use case

Being able to see the virtual IPs associated with an interface is useful for the same reasons it's useful to see the directly assigned IP addresses.

I think it's especially useful when modeling HA clusters in something like a Fortigate Firewall, where the individual unit interfaces don't have dedicated IPs at all. Without seeing the Virtual IPs, you have no immediate indication of what net is on the interface at all. The existing column for showing the FHRP group is not as useful as seeing the Virtual IPs for my use case.

I have a PR ready that is running on my own instance.

Database changes

None

External dependencies
