Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.6
  • NetBox version: 2.5.5

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Connect a cable between rear port of two devices

Observed Behavior

When browsing on both devices with http://XXX/dcim/devices/, the rear port view of both devices refers to the same device name and url in the connection field. That means : on one device, the data in connection field is correct and refers to the correct remote device and on the other one, the output refers to the itself.

However, cable terminations are correct in http://XXX/dcim/cables/

Expected Behavior

Rear port connection field should always refers to the other termination device not to its device.
