Environment

Python version: 3.6.8
NetBox version: 2.6.11

Steps to Reproduce

Create two interfaces on virtual machines with the MAC addresses 00:00:00:00:00:01 and 00:00:00:00:00:02
Make a request for GET /api/virtualization/interfaces/?mac_address=00:00:00:00:00:01&mac_address=00:00:00:00:00:02

Expected Behavior

Both interfaces should be returned. This works as expected on the DCIM interfaces endpoint (/api/dcim/interfaces/).

Observed Behavior

Only the second interface (with MAC address 00:00:00:00:00:02) is returned.

This happens because the mac_address filter on the virtualization InterfaceFilter is not a MultiValueMACAddressFilter:

class InterfaceFilter(django_filters.FilterSet):
    ...
    mac_address = django_filters.CharFilter(
        method='_mac_address',
        label='MAC address',
    )
