Environment

  • Python version: 3.5.2
  • NetBox version: 2.5.6

Proposed Functionality

When you create an interface and/or first set its 802.1Q mode, you currently see this:

IMO this is confusing, since the "Tags" here don't refer to VLAN tags. It's only after you've saved the interface that you then get the table underneath for "802.1Q VLANs".

I suggest moving "Tags" higher up the screen; and/or including the 802.1Q VLANs table always, even when the 802.1Q mode hasn't been set (it can be greyed out).

Use Case

New user adding / updating interfaces and trying to associate VLANs / VLAN tags.

Database Changes

None

External Dependencies

None
