NetBox version

v3.4.8

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

Extend NetBox to display FHRP group IP addresses on the device's interfaces tab and the specific interface.

The proposed change would allow users to see the virtual IP addresses associated with an FHRP group directly on the device's interfaces tab and the specific interface page, making it easier to understand the relationship between devices, interfaces, and FHRP groups.

Use case

Currently, NetBox supports FHRP groups for documentation purposes, but it does not directly display the IP addresses associated with an FHRP group on the interfaces tab or the specific interface page. This requires users to navigate to the FHRP group details page to view the associated IP addresses, which can be time-consuming and inconvenient.

By displaying FHRP group IP addresses on the interfaces tab and the specific interface page, users can easily understand the relationship between devices, interfaces, and FHRP configurations without the need for additional navigation.

It would also improve integration with automation tools like Ansible.

Database changes

This feature may require changes to the database schema to store the relationship between FHRP groups, IP addresses, and device interfaces. A migration script might be needed to update existing database records.

External dependencies

None.

I think this is a crucial feature which a lot people would benefit from, also looking at this issue.
