Environment

  • NetBox version: 2.5.12

Proposed Functionality

When selecting a device in NetBox that is a "parent", can we have a feature to show all connections that belong to the children of that parent in that main view?
It can be shown below the "Device Bays" view

If you have a "parent" device with 20 "child" devices with 1 interface each, it can be very time-consuming to get the overview of that devices connections.

Use Case

We have many processing devices that have 5-8-10-20 device bays in them, where each device in a bay only has 1-2 connections.
If I want to get the overview of how my main/parent device is connected, it would be useful to click on the parent device and then see all connections of child devices in one location.

Also in the interface connection search, being able to search on a parent device, and find the child devices connections. I know my parent device better than the sub-modules it contains.
