use case:

I am not a network ops person so I cannot give a specific detailed use-case. I could invent one but I don't think it would be convincing. They told me it would be useful to see Chassis ID / MAC as part of the device data and I believed them. I suppose they identify devices by their MAC address.

  • The Database change is in the issue request.
  • The Device view would need to include the Chassis Id.
  • no new API endpoints

If you don't feel this is a useful addition then just say "no". We will just have to use a custom field instead. I thought others may find it handy too.
