📄 Description

Notes

Python 3 Required

As promised, Python 2 support has been completed removed. Python 3.5 or higher is now required to run NetBox. Please see our Python 3 migration guide for assistance with upgrading.

Removed Deprecated User Activity Log

The UserAction model, which was deprecated by the new change logging feature in NetBox v2.4, has been removed. If you need to archive legacy user activity, do so prior to upgrading to NetBox v2.5, as the database migration will remove all data associated with this model.

View Permissions in Django 2.1

Django 2.1 introduces view permissions for object types (not to be confused with object-level permissions). Implementation of #323 is planned for NetBox v2.6. Users are encourage to begin assigning view permissions as desired in preparation for their eventual enforcement.

upgrade.sh No Longer Invokes sudo

The upgrade.sh script has been tweaked so that it no longer invokes sudo internally. This was done to ensure compatibility when running NetBox inside a Python virtual environment. If you need elevated permissions when upgrading NetBox, call the upgrade script with sudo upgrade.sh.

New Features

Patch Panels and Cables (#20)

NetBox now supports modeling physical cables for console, power, and interface connections. The new pass-through port component type has also been introduced to model patch panels and similar devices.

Enhancements

  • #450 - Added outer_width and outer_depth fields to rack model
  • #867 - Added description field to circuit terminations
  • #1444 - Added an asset_tag field for racks
  • #1931 - Added a count of assigned IP addresses to the interface API serializer
  • #2000 - Dropped support for Python 2
  • #2053 - Introduced the LOGIN_TIMEOUT configuration setting
  • #2057 - Added description columns to interface connections list
  • #2104 - Added a status field for racks
  • #2165 - Improved natural ordering of Interfaces
  • #2292 - Removed the deprecated UserAction model
  • #2367 - Removed deprecated RPCClient functionality
  • #2426 - Introduced SESSION_FILE_PATH configuration setting for authentication without write access to database
  • #2594 - upgrade.sh no longer invokes sudo

Changes From v2.5-beta2

  • #2474 - Add cabled and connection_status filters for device components
  • #2616 - Convert Rack outer_unit and Cable length_unit to integer-based choice fields
  • #2622 - Enable filtering cables by multiple types/colors
  • #2624 - Delete associated content type and permissions when removing InterfaceConnection model
  • #2626 - Remove extraneous permissions generated from proxy models
  • #2632 - Change representation of null values from 0 to null
  • #2639 - Fix preservation of length/dimensions unit for racks and cables
  • #2648 - Include the connection_status field in nested represenations of connectable device components
  • #2649 - Add connected_endpoint_type to connectable device component API representations

API Changes

  • The /extras/recent-activity/ endpoint (replaced by change logging in v2.4) has been removed
  • The rpc_client field has been removed from dcim.Platform (see #2367)
  • Introduced a new API endpoint for cables at /dcim/cables/
  • New endpoints for front and rear pass-through ports (and their templates) in parallel with existing device components
  • The fields interface_connection on Interface and interface on CircuitTermination have been replaced with connected_endpoint and connection_status
  • A new cable field has been added to console, power, and interface components and to circuit terminations
  • New fields for dcim.Rack: status, asset_tag, outer_width, outer_depth, outer_unit
  • The following boolean filters on dcim.Device and dcim.DeviceType have been renamed:
    • is_console_server: console_server_ports
    • is_pdu: power_outlets
    • is_network_device: interfaces
  • The following new boolean filters have been introduced for dcim.Device and dcim.DeviceType:
    • console_ports
    • power_ports
    • pass_through_ports
  • The field interface_ordering has been removed from the DeviceType serializer
  • Added a description field to the CircuitTermination serializer
  • Added ipaddress_count to InterfaceSerializer to show the count of assigned IP addresses for each interface
  • The available-prefixes and available-ips IPAM endpoints now return an HTTP 204 response instead of HTTP 400 when no new objects can be created
  • Filtering on null values now uses the string null instead of zero
