Environment

  • Python version: 3.7
  • NetBox version: 2.6.11

Proposed Functionality

Allow termination of circuits with another circuit

Use Case

The use case is for when we connect to an ISP via a 3rd party wavelength / metro connect. It would be great if netbox could show something like:

my_router xe-0/0/0 > wavelength > ISP circuit

Database Changes

Unknown

External Dependencies

None

@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Apr 3, 2020):

You'd still need a cable to connect the two circuit terminations. It would look like this:

[ device ] [ interface ] ---- [ termination ] [ circuit ] [ termination ] ---- [ termination ] [ circuit ] [ termination ] ---- [ interface ] [ device ]

Validation doesn't currently allow one termination to attach to another directly, but I don't think this is a limitation of the model itself.
