NetBox version

v3.4.5

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

The interface table in the web interface of a VDC e.g. https://demo.netbox.dev/dcim/virtual-device-contexts/1/ currently only has an edit/delete/changelog button, whereas the interface table on a device has additional buttons: add, trace, mark planned, connect. I can understand wanting to have the cabling managed only on the physical device but there should be at least an add button for IP addresses and child interfaces.

Use case

Ability to assign IPs and create child interfaces directly while viewing a VDC.

Database changes

None

External dependencies

No response
