NetBox version

v3.3.5

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Documentation of the used SFPs/QSFPs in a port, which is important to get all the needed details for a physical connection.

Attached is a list of all kinds of possible SFPs/QSFPs.

sfp-kinds.txt

Use case

The field "Type" in Interface describes the maximal speed of the port, but not which SFP/speed is really used.
e.g. You can add an 1G-SX SFP into a 10G port. Another example, you use 100GBASE-SR4 and needs a MPO cable or 100GBASE-CWDM4 with a OM4/LC cable.

Without the documentation of the used SFP, you don't know which cable to use or which speed is possible or what kind of SFP you need to replace when faulty.

Database changes

another field is needed

External dependencies

none

@PieterL75 commented on GitHub (Oct 24, 2022):

you can be done using Inventory Items :
https://docs.netbox.dev/en/stable/models/dcim/inventoryitem/

An inventory item may also be associated with a specific component within the same device. For example, you may wish to associate a transceiver with an interface.

As @PieterL75 points out, pluggable optics should be modeled as inventory items and associated with the interfaces into which they are installed.
