Originally created by @louis-6wind on GitHub (May 16, 2019).

Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.6
  • NetBox version: 2.5.12

Proposed Functionality

I would have the ability in GUI to remove all cables (as seen in cable trace) except cables between rear ports :
- addition of a button to do so beside cable remove in device interface view. To remove cable starting from the interface
- when deleting a device, add the suggestion to remove all cable starting from their interfaces

The logic needed to support this would be unduly cumbersome to maintain, not to mention extremely prone to user error.

Connected cables are automatically deleted when a device is deleted.

I have made a script to do so but it would have been appreciated to have this feature

not to mention extremely prone to user error.

Why not put a user confirmation in which user see all the cables that are being to be deleted ?

Connected cables are automatically deleted when a device is deleted.

I meant all the cables up to connected devices. Only connected cables are deleted but if patchpanel (with front port and rear port) is used in the cable path, cables connected to remote device won't be deleted
