Deployment Type

Self-hosted

NetBox Version

v4.3.4

Python Version

3.12

Steps to Reproduce

The IP Addresses object type only shows the interface that the IP address is set on. The parent device of the interface is missing. This makes it impossible to get a quick visual confirmation of which IP addresses are part of which devices, one always has to click into the interface first.

See the following screenshot as example, where both linked interfaces have the same name and label - as they are supposed to, in this case.

Expected Behavior

I'd expect the same interface/parent model as present in the MAC Addresses table, for example.

Observed Behavior

I was torn between creating a bug report or feature request. On one hand, it would be an enhancement to what we have today, so it could be considered a request for a new feature. On the other hand, the lack of it really seems inconsistent with other parts of Netbox which is why I went for the bug report. Feel free to change type if necessary.

@vic-t , this is definitely a feature request. Please file a new feature request--we value your time and hate that this will create duplicate work for you, but GitHub currently offers no way to carry over the fields included in the bug report template to the feature request one. Please be sure to be detailed and explicit about what changes the feature will entail.

Having said that, is this what you're looking for (below)? Both the Parent and Interface columns are included.

@jnovinger No problem, happy to recreate it as a feature request. If it's even necessary - how did you get the parent to show in your screenshot? As this is indeed what I was looking for.

Ah... man, this is embarrassing. I mixed up "Available columns" and "Selected columns", for some reason I was just convinced that I have to look on the right side for fields that are not yet in the table. "Parent" indeed is there. So sorry for the noise...

Awesome, I was hoping it was just a misunderstanding!

You can choose which fields to include in the list display (per user even) by clicking the "Configure Table" button in the upper-right. That will bring up a modal where you can select columns to display (and what order they are in) from those that are available. Parent is one of the available columns.
