Originally created by @tdemoraes on GitHub (Oct 30, 2019).

Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.8
  • NetBox version: 2.6.6

Proposed Functionality

Ability to search for the cable descriptions within the global search. Growing on #2726, which did cable labels, I would like to be able to search for descriptions.

Use Case

Ability to find a cable based on the description. Sometimes the ports are not labeled in an easy way to recall.

Database Changes

No

External Dependencies

No

There is no field for a description on the cable model. If you are referring to device component descriptions, please see #3060. Otherwise, you may revise your issue and ask that it be re-opened.

I believe #3060 is the same request. Perhaps not in the global search due to performance, but adding in another search section for Front/Rear ports - Or even better a component search. This would be a large help when auditing ports on a patch panel from the other end.
