NetBox version

v3.1.1

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

When a NAT IP is shown, link to the IP Address object it represents.

Use case

User experience improvement, it allows a user to get to the NAT IP without having to go via the NAT:ed IP.

So, instead of doing VM -> Primary IP -> NAT IP you can do VM -> NAT IP directly.

Database changes

None

External dependencies

None

Basically, on the virtual machine view, change:

<td>
    {% if object.primary_ip4 %}
        <a href="{% url 'ipam:ipaddress' pk=object.primary_ip4.pk %}">{{ object.primary_ip4.address.ip }}</a>
        {% if object.primary_ip4.nat_inside %}
            <span>(NAT for {{ object.primary_ip4.nat_inside.address.ip }})</span>
        {% elif object.primary_ip4.nat_outside %}
            <span>(NAT: {{ object.primary_ip4.nat_outside.address.ip }})</span>
        {% endif %}
    {% else %}
        <span class="text-muted">&mdash;</span>
    {% endif %}
</td>

    {% if object.primary_ip4 %}
