Originally created by @proudbro on GitHub (Mar 9, 2021).

NetBox version

v.2.10.5

Python version

3.6

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create any device with Interfaces components
  2. Add IP address on interface
  3. Delete Device

Expected Behavior

There is no cascade delete. Previously added IP address will return to the list of IP addresses and can be assigned again

Observed Behavior

It occurs cascading IP address deletion with device and interfaces

This bug looks especially strange if I create "TEST" user with prohibition on IP deletion and do the same steps to reproduce.
The address will be deleted again. But "TEST" user can't delete adresses via GUI.
