Within NetBox it's possible to select a primary IP address for each device, mostly this is a Loopback interface. For emergency purposes it would be really nice to also have an Out-of-Band (OOB) address listed. At this moment we use the tag mechanism, but that's sub-optimal.

There is already an option available allowing you to mark an interface as only being used for "OOB Management", then you simply ad the IP address to this interface.

This type of interfaces will be labelled in the device view with a small wrench symbol in front of the interface name.
