NetBox version

v3.1.7

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

In the GUI, when you navigate to Wireless > Wireless LANs and click the Add button, the form that is presented currently has a single VLAN dropdown field. I propose adding a "Site/VLAN Assignment" filter group, identical to the Add New Prefix form - which includes the following filter/fields on the VLAN list:

  • Region
  • Site group
  • Site
  • VLAN group
  • VLAN

Use case

If a user has hundreds/thousands of identically numbered and named VLANs & SSIDs spread across multiple sites, it is difficult to find the "correct" VLAN to assign a WLAN to. Providing these filters would allow a user to easily find the target VLAN at the target site.

Database changes

Possible addition of Site relation to Wireless LAN model.

External dependencies

I'll take this one if approved.

What are your thoughts on the addition of a Site field to WirelessLAN Model? In theory, the site could be inferred from the VLAN, but perhaps there are scenarios out there that would be helped by a Site field. I personally would be okay with just filtering by Site for now.

👍

What are your thoughts on the addition of a Site field to WirelessLAN Model?

This would need to be proposed in a separate FR with a use case.
