Originally assigned to: @jeremystretch on GitHub.

Proposed Changes

Prior to NetBox v2.11, the following models used slugs in their URL paths:

  • circuits.Provider
  • dcim.Site
  • tenancy.Tenant

In v2.11, these were standardized to use numeric keys like all other NetBox models, however an automatic redirection was left in place for backward compatibility (see #6097).

This issue proposes removing this redirection functionality as it is no longer needed.

Justification

Slugs are no longer used to identify objects in URL paths, and ample time has been provided between releases for users to update any external systems referencing NetBox by these legacy paths.
