Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.8
  • NetBox version: 2.7.7

Proposed Functionality

I would like to support negative voltage on power feeds.
This support could come from a change in data sanitization of the 'voltage' field
Alternatively, a negative_voltage boolean could be added (this one seems like too much trouble)

Use Case

In DC power plant applications, it's common to receive -48V DC power feeds. Specifically, this application is used in all AT&T central offices, although I'm quite certain other facilities have gone this route as well.

Database Changes

No change required for the first proposed option
For the second proposed option, a boolean field would need to be added to the dcim_powerfeed table

External Dependencies

None

Extra Notes

I posted this request on the Google Group, but haven't gotten any feedback at this point

I'm honestly a little surprised this hasn't come up until now.
