Originally created by @ThomasADavis on GitHub (Aug 30, 2022).

NetBox version

v3.3.0

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

It's difficult to search in the new cable model for console cables. I'd like to see the type of 'console' (like 'power') added to the cable choices.

Use case

Searching for just console cables in the connections page is currently impossible.

Database changes

Add 'console' to the cable types.

External dependencies

None

@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Aug 30, 2022):

This is a good example of why NetBox does not permit users to define arbitrary cable types. "Console" is not a cable type: it is a functional classification. For example, a CAT5e cable could be used for either network or console connectivity.

Searching for just console cables in the connections page is currently impossible.

There's a dedicated list of console connections under Connections > Console Connections.
