Environment

  • NetBox 2.7.4
  • Python 3.6.9
  • OS: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Proposed Functionality

  1. Maximum input power allowed for new device is 32 kWatt, but we have ones with input power of 277 kWatt.

  2. We need a function to hide the electric connection types that are not used in the region. Certain types of electrical connectors are needed to be added, including: Hard Wire 3 wire (1PH+N+G), Hard Wire 5-wire (3PH + N + G).

  3. We need you to add a sections titled “Endpoint” for cameras / phones / PCs / MFPs. Each section should include fields: Name, MAC address (required parameter), IP address (primary default), Vendor (default - insert automatically according to MAC address field), Model, PoE Consumption, Bandwidth.

  4. Changelog of object contains the last input only. But we need the whole history: what was changed, what was a new input, or what was added / deleted (specifically if the object contains of lots of fields / entities).

You would usually open a separate feature request for each of the items above.

  1. I agree with this request. Some considerations must be made with regards to how much power can be available from a power feed with the current limitations.
  2. The hiding part is a bit out of reach, I would imagine. As for adding the electrical connectors, I think that's acceptable.
  3. Such an endpoint would generally be addressed as a device with sub-interfaces, because that's what they are actually. PoE interfaces is already in #1099. Power consumption is already an existing functionality (create a device, add a power port to it with the maximum and allocated power, and connect it to a power outlet/feed). I'm not too sure what you mean by bandwidth.
  4. This is being addressed in #2511

Though again, multiple feature requests are put into their own individual issues in an effort to track any work.
