Originally created by @MrDiba on GitHub (May 24, 2019).

Environment

  • Python version: 3.5.3
  • NetBox version: 2.5.12

Steps to Reproduce

  1. When exporting and importing virtual machines the interfaces are not exported/imported.
  2. When exporting and importing IP addresses the interfaces of a virtual_machine are exported/imported.
  3. Virtual machines has to be imported first be connected to a IP address at import.
  4. Trying to import IP addresses fails because the interface of the virtual machine can't be found because it was not exported/imported.

Expected Behavior

  1. Interfaces of virtual machines are being exported and imported so they match up to the interfaces of IP addresses.

and/or

  1. The import of IP address needs to be able to add interfaces to existing virtual machines when submitting the import.

Observed Behavior

When the VM's are imported, the interfaces are not being imported.
When importing the IP addresses with virtual_machine tag and interface_name the import will fail because the virtual machine has no interfaces.

@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (May 24, 2019):

The import/export views each only deal with a single model (although you can write custom export templates invoking multiple models). To create virtual machines:

  1. Create/import the virtual machines
  2. Add interfaces (individually on in bulk)
  3. Create/import IP addresses

#1492 is open to address the templatization of virtual machine interfaces (similar to device types).
