Environment

  • Python version: 3.7.8
  • NetBox version: 2.10.3

Proposed Functionality

The Delete widget (red trash can) used to exist next to each IP attached to an interface in the old Interfaces table. Now that the IP address(es) is in-line on the Interfaces tab, the widget isn't practical. The widget could be moved to the interface details page (/dcim/interfaces/123/) in the IP Addresses table. This would save having to edit the IP address directly to remove the interface from it.

Use Case

It eliminates a number of clicks and page loads/database hits when removing IP addresses from a device and moves the widget to what seems like a logical place in the new GUI.

Database Changes

None

External Dependencies

None
