NetBox version

v3.3-beta2

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

In the interfaces table, "Add" is now a drop-down:

I propose adding another option to this list, "Add FHRP Group"

Similar to IP addresses, ideally this would take you to a page with two tabs:

One for Create FHRP Group (and assign it to this interface)
One for Assign existing FHRP Group to this interface

An alternative (and slightly simpler) feature is to add option "Assign FHRP Group" instead. This would take you to another page, which would only give you the option to Assign an existing FHRP group to this interface.

I think the latter option is fine, because normally you'd create an FHRP group, before you go around assigning it to interfaces.

Use case

There is already a way to assign FHRP groups to interfaces but it's awkward and non-obvious (you have to View the interface, at which point one of the panels is a table of FHRP groups, with a button to assign another one)

Having the option to do it directly on the interface "Add" dropdown makes it consistent with assigning other things (IP addresses, Inventory items etc)

Database changes

None

External dependencies

None
