Originally created by @lowinger42 on GitHub (Oct 19, 2018).

Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.6
  • NetBox version: 2.4.4

Proposed Functionality

Add a platform field to device types. When creating a new device, use this platform field as default.

Usually platform is tied to the device type, less chance of getting this wrong.

Use Case

User creates a platform, for example "ciscosmb" with vendor Cisco.

User creates a device type, SG300-10, specifies default platform as ciscosmb

User creates multiple SG300-10 devices and all get devices automatically get the correct platform set.

It's very common for a device type to support multiple platforms, thus it does not make sense to couple the two. (Consider a specific make and model of server running either Linux or Windows.) See #1364 for a potential future solution.

Ok, I was only thinking of my use case, broadband network with thousand of switches and few servers. Agree #1364 is another solution that works well. Thanks!
