[ ] Feature request
[x] Bug report
[ ] Documentation

Environment

  • Python version: 3.5.4
  • NetBox version: develop

Description

Right now, the partial (included) consoleserverport.html template uses an explicit reference to the name field for display. This is also done by the __str__() class method of ConsoleServerPort, which is used in other locations (specifically, dcim/console_connections_list.html). Changing this here as well would assure consistency if the __str__() method is ever changed.
This change does not require any changes to the database schema, only a minor modification of the template.
