Issue type

[X] Feature request
[ ] Bug report
[ ] Documentation

Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.3
  • NetBox version: 2.2.1

Description

While connections don't make sense for some virtual machine interfaces they do if, for example, the virtual machine has tunnel interfaces which connect it "directly" to other devices/VMs.
Interfaces on virtual machines should support connections like those on regular devices do.
I don't think this would require DB schema changes since both virtual machines and devices use the same Interface model so it should be a matter of just adding support in the UI.

Alternatively tunnel interfaces could be made a special case (looking at #1538 as well)

@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Oct 13, 2017):

Even if we decide to implement some logic for tunnel interfaces, it wouldn't look like physical connections (tunnels can have many endpoints). But that will be addressed in #1538.
