Proposed functionality

hey all :)

can you please add this interface type "2500BaseX (SFP)" to the selection field in the devicetyp menu?
We have a lot of mpls rtr with that type of interface - so i thought i just ask for it :)

but i cant evaluate if this type of interface is a "dying" or old one and not worth to add.

greetings opti

It's best to use one of the options NetBox already provides for modeling 2.5 Gbps interfaces:

  • 2.5GBASE-T (2.5GE)
  • 2.5GBASE-KX (2.5GE)
