Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.8
  • NetBox version: 2..10.3

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Browse to one of the racks you have in Netbox -- /dcim/racks/1/
  2. When attempting to click on a device in the rack it shows the IP address instead of FQDN of the server (x.x.x.x/dcim/devices/25/

Expected Behavior

Expected the FQDN to show instead of the IP address

Observed Behavior

Netbox shows the IP address instead of the FQDN, this can cause issues with TLS certificates if the IP address is not in the Subject Alternative Name in the TLS certificate
