  • Python version: 3.6.7
  • NetBox version: 2.6.0

Proposed Functionality

Hi

Issue 3176 fixed in 2.6 release gives the trace button on the console server side but the same is missing on the device side.

This feature request is to have the same trace button on the device side.

Use Case

Screenshot on the console server ports:

screenshot on the remote side:

If a next patch can add the trace button for devices (switch, servers, ...), we will have this feature on both ends.

Step to reproduce:
like issue 3176.
link a switch console port to a patch panel (PP) front port
associated PP rear port is connected to another PP rear port in another rack
link associated front port to a console server port.
The trace button is only on the console server device, not on the switch device console port.

Database Changes

don't know :)

External Dependencies

no

Best regards
Alex
