NetBox version

v3.3.7

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Currently it is possible to specify colors for Front and Rear Ports. However, when running a cable trace, the port colors are not reflected in the rendered SVG. Cable colors can be specified and are already rendered during cable traces, it only makes sense that the same logic should apply for the Front and Rear Ports. Additionally, when no color is specified, the port color should revert to the current default.

Use case

Sometimes specific patch panel ports and/or network drop keystone colors are used to help identify specific traces in the real world. Adding this functionality would not only be simple but would further help users visualize and identify traces.

Database changes
