Environment

  • Python version: 3.7.3
  • NetBox version: 2.7.11

Proposed Functionality

Could you please consider ability to add more filtering fields for IP addresses page to be able to filter by parent device attributes like name, role or site.

Use Case

It could be specific only to our environment but it can be a frequent case for others as well.
Here is the use case:
We need to get a list of IP addresses assigned to the servers with specific role.
Let's say we have the following servers:
server-db-1
server-db-2
server-web-1
server-web-2
But I want to get a list of IP addresses only for web servers.

The lightweight implementation could be done by allowing filtering IP addresses by device name with loose logic.
For example to get a list of IPs for all the web servers I just need to type 'server-web'.

Database Changes

None

External Dependencies
