NetBox version

v3.3.8

Python version

3.9

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a device
  2. Add an interface to the device
  3. View interfaces tab
  4. Configure table
  5. Add "Link Peers" column

Expected Behavior

I would expect the column showing me the next connection in my trace to be named with something containing connection. I.e. "Connection Peer".

Observed Behavior

The column in question is called link, but this word is only used with wireless connections in the documentation.

The link peers column displays the peer connections on the directly connected link, whether that be a cable or a wireless link. If you'd like to propose changing this, please submit a feature request citing your justification for the community to review.
