NetBox version

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 child interface"

This will take you to the "Add interface" page, with:

  • The type set to "Virtual"
  • The parent set to the interface you came from
  • The name set to the name of the interface you came from, with a dot appended

Use case

UX for smoother creation of subinterfaces. Currently you have to copy the interface name, Add interface, paste the name into the name field, and select the parent interface from the parent dropdown.

Database changes

None

External dependencies

None
