Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.9
  • NetBox version: 2.7.7

Proposed Functionality

Currently device type import does not propose comments to the import. (Original PR #451).
This feature request is to propose adding the support of comments to the device type import model.

Use Case

This would allow to add information regarding a model such as:

  • WS-C2960-48TC-L: Catalyst 2960 - 48 100M data-only copper ports with dual-purpose ports (10/100/1000 or SFP) uplinks - LAN Base
  • add the URL to the vendor website.
  • etc

This could be interesting when coupled with https://github.com/netbox-community/devicetype-library

Database Changes

None

External Dependencies

None

This was considered and declined during implementation of the import function. Comments are not included because they are not part of the real-world device definition.
