Issue type

[ ] Feature request
[ ] Bug report
[ ] Documentation

Environment

  • Python version: Python 3.5.2
  • NetBox version: 2.1.5

Description

Aggregates show child prefixes, but not the reverse. Without the reverse information, you have to create a prefix of the exact same as the aggregate. When both exist this makes the aggregate almost useless (other than a quick view of the top level of all things).
I propose a change that at least shows prefixes within an aggregate with no parent to show the aggregate and preferably adding a section above "Parent Prefixes" that has the Top Level Aggregate.

Aggregates show child prefixes, but not the reverse.

The aggregate of a prefix (if one exists) is included in the attributes of the prefix, between Tenant and Site.
