Originally created by @dxks on GitHub (Jul 10, 2019).

Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.8
  • NetBox version: 2.6.1

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a Patchpanel with Frontports
  2. Click on connect icon and you can only select Interface, Front/Rear Port, Circuit Termination

Expected Behavior

Connection to/from Console-Porst can also be initiated starting with the patchpanel as RJ45 is a normal style of console-ports and cross-rack connections are always possible.

Observed Behavior

Connections can only be initiated from the console-server or the device itself. Doing a documentation step-by-step (hopping from device to console server) is not possible at all.

Connection on patchpanel:
connecti-selection-panel

Connection on Console-Server:
connecti-selection-conserver

Taking a look at templates, This needs to add a line at line 65-71 in /netbox/netbox/templates/dcim/inc/frontport.html .

<li><a href="{% url 'dcim:frontport_connect' termination_a_id=frontport.pk termination_b_type='console-port' %}?return_url={{ device.get_absolute_url }}">Console Port</a></li>
