Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.6
  • NetBox version: Example: 2.5.5

Perhaps the mechanism for updating the port information does not work or does not exist.

We have cable:

Update cable - change server port
curl -X PUT "http://netboxserver.local/api/dcim/cables/621/" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-CSRFToken:....." -d "{ \"termination_a_type\": \"dcim.interface\", \"termination_a_id\": 10488, \"termination_b_type\": \"dcim.interface\", \"termination_b_id\": 8491, \"status\": true}"

Response body:

All is well.
But there is a problem with the interfaces.
On the port to which the cable was switched - information appeared about the cable but about connected_endpoint not:

{

    "id": 689,
