NetBox version

v2.11.11

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Back in Netbox v2.7.x Device Interface and vm interface were the same component type and searchable by description using the query (Search) field. Since device interfaces and vm interfaces has been separated, the search function is only available for Device Interfaces, but not for vm interface anymore.

It would be great to have the ability to search vm interface by description, the same way it works for device interfaces.

In the latest Netbox Release vm interface can be searched only by

  • Cluster
  • Virtual Machine
  • Status
  • Mac address
  • Tags

Use case

The description field may be used for documentation of vm interface related settings like port-group, virtual switch or other configuration information. I should be searchable within the vm interface section.

Database changes

cannot tell.

External dependencies

none
