Maybe you know, that some versions ago mac_address was just a string field. So you could create an interface with mac address with one API query. Now it's impossible. You have to create an interface, after that create a mac address for that interface and only late set that mac address as primary. Three posts instead of one.

Deployment Type

Self-hosted

NetBox Version

v4.2.2

Python Version

3.10

Steps to Reproduce

curl -X 'POST'
'NETBOX_URL'
-H 'accept: application/json'
-H 'Content-Type: application/json'
-H 'X-CSRFTOKEN: TOKEN'
-d '{
"device": {
"name": "NAME"
},
"type": "100base-tx",
"name": "Lan2",
"mac_address": "#########"
}'

Expected Behavior

{
"id": ##,
"url": "https://nbtest.sg01.com/api/dcim/interfaces/##/",
...
"mac_address": "#########",
"primary_mac_address": {
"id": ###,
"url": "https://nb.sg01.com/api/dcim/mac-addresses/###/",
"display": "#########",
"mac_address": "#########",
"description": ""
},
"mac_addresses": [
{
"id": ###,

"display": "#########",
"mac_address": "#########",
"description": ""
}

...
}
