📄 Description

Breaking Changes

  • Support for the Django admin UI has been completely removed. (The Django admin UI was disabled by default in NetBox v4.0.)
  • NetBox has adopted collation-based natural ordering for many models. This may alter the order in which some objects are listed by default.
  • Automatic redirects from pre-v4.1 UI views for virtual disks have been removed.
  • The site and provider_network foreign key fields on circuits.CircuitTermination have been replaced by the termination generic foreign key.
  • The site foreign key field on ipam.Prefix has been replaced by the scope generic foreign key.
  • The site foreign key field on virtualization.Cluster has been replaced by the scope generic foreign key.
  • The circuit foreign key field on circuits.CircuitGroupAssignment has been replaced by the member generic foreign key.
  • Obsolete nested REST API serializers have been removed. These were deprecated in NetBox v4.1 under #17143.

New Features

Assign Multiple MAC Addresses per Interface (#4867)

MAC addresses are now managed as independent objects, rather than attributes on device and VM interfaces. NetBox now supports the assignment of multiple MAC addresses per interface, and allows a primary MAC address to be designated for each.

Quick Add UI Widget (#5858)

A new UI widget has been introduced to enable conveniently creating new related objects while creating or editing an object. For instance, it is now possible to create and assign a new device role when creating or editing a device from within the device form.

VLAN Translation (#7336)

User can now define policies which track the translation of VLAN IDs on IEEE 802.1Q-encapsulated interfaces. Translation policies can be reused across multiple interfaces.

Virtual Circuits (#13086)

New models have been introduced to support the documentation of virtual circuits as an extension to the physical circuit modeling already supported. This enables users to accurately reflect point-to-point or multipoint virtual circuits atop infrastructure comprising physical circuits and cables.

Q-in-Q Encapsulation (#13428)

NetBox now supports the designation of customer VLANs (CVLANs) and service VLANs (SVLANs) to support IEEE 802.1ad/Q-in-Q encapsulation. Each interface can now have it mode designated "Q-in-Q" and be assigned an SVLAN.

Enhancements

  • #6414 - Prefixes can now be scoped by region, site group, site, or location
  • #7699 - Virtualization clusters can now be scoped by region, site group, site, or location
  • #9604 - The scope of a circuit termination now include a region, site group, site, location, or provider network
  • #10711 - Wireless LANs can now be scoped by region, site group, site, or location
  • #11279 - Improved the use of natural ordering for various models throughout the application
  • #12596 - Extended the virtualization clusters REST API endpoint to report on allocated VM resources
  • #16547 - Add a geographic distance field for circuits
  • #16783 - Add an operational status field for inventory items
  • #17195 - Add a color field for power outlets

Plugins

  • #15093 - Introduced the events_pipeline configuration parameter, which allows plugins to hook into NetBox event processing
  • #16546 - NetBoxModel now provides a default get_absolute_url() method
  • #16971 - Plugins can now easily register system jobs to perform background tasks
  • #17029 - Registering a PluginTemplateExtension subclass for a single model has been deprecated (replace model with models)
  • #18023 - Extend register_model_view() to handle list views

Other Changes

  • #16136 - Removed support for the Django admin UI
  • #17165 - All obsolete nested REST API serializers have been removed
  • #17472 - The legacy staged changes API has been deprecated, and will be removed in Netbox v4.3
  • #17476 - Upgrade to Django 5.1
  • #17752 - Bulk object import URL paths have been renamed from *_import to *_bulk_import
  • #17761 - Optional choice fields now store empty values as null (rather than empty strings) in the database
  • #18093 - Redirects for pre-v4.1 virtual disk UI views have been removed
