NetBox version

v3.0.0

Python version

3.8

Steps to Reproduce

1 Create a (Parent)Device with minimum two Device Bays
2 Create two (Child) Devices, with each at least one Interface
3 Add Parent to Rack and add Childs to Device Bay
4 Create LAG Interface in Parent
5 Try to add Child-Interfaces to LAG

Expected Behavior

To be able to add the Child Interfaces to the Parent LAG

This is a required function for example fully modular Switches, as the Parent does not have any interfaces on its one. LAGs are not limited to one Child-Module, but for redundancy are split between two or more Modules.

Observed Behavior

The Parent LAG is not available to be selected

LAG membership cannot span multiple devices. All member interfaces must exist on the same device. (Child devices do not share a control plane.)
