Originally created by @trunet on GitHub (Mar 5, 2019).

Environment

  • Python version: 3.6
  • NetBox version: 2.5.7

Proposed Functionality

Netbox should have a way to link services on devices. If one device provides a service, it should be able to link (connect) it on another device.

Use Case

I have a storage cluster with multiple 4U nodes, each with its own IP address, network interfaces, memory, CPUs, .... On netbox, I created an NFS service on each storage node (device).

Than, I have my servers that access this devices, they can mount the NFS of one specific storage node.

I would like to link multiple servers connecting to each storage device so we can track what is connected where.

@DanSheps commented on GitHub (Mar 5, 2019):

This would amount to a major new feature, and unfortunately we're not currently accepting requests which would extend NetBox's scope (see the contributing guide). It's a topic we'll almost certainly revisit at some point in the future once the current backlog of feature requests has been addressed.
