Originally created by @a31amit on GitHub (Jul 23, 2019).

Environment

  • Python version: 3.7
  • NetBox version: 2.6.1 or develop

it looks to be an issue with netbox caching or search by mac address. I tried with Redis caching to 0, it is still broken.
for some reasons it's working for old existing devices in the database but whenever I create a new device or new interface, its broken. I tried with Redis flush but its same, doubt if logic in netbox core may need to check.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a New Interface with its valid mac address
  2. Search Mac Address in Search Box of netbox

Expected Behavior

netbox should return the device in search.

Observed Behavior

It doesn't return anything. Also, it seems the same for API as well.

  1. Click on Add New Interface with Name eth1 or with some other name which doesn't exist for the same device.
  2. Update a valid Mac Address for example - b0:35:9f:8a:2d:e8
  3. Save
  4. Search a Mac Address in global Search

Result - Nothing Returns.

For old devices and their interfaces with mac address which exist before migration to 2.6.0 or everything which was in netbox 2.5.13 still searchable

See, this:

Search a Mac Address in global Search

is different from your original post:

Search Mac Address in Search Box of netbox

Global search doesn't match on MAC addresses. The mac_address filter does this and works as expected.
