Issue type: feature request

Devices currently have a set of administrative statuses (active, offline, et. al. via recent commit). I use this plus a custom field to denote whether or not a device should be monitored (via a 3rd party system). I would like this same functionality for interfaces. I see these administrative states being immediately applicable to interfaces:

  • Up (default)
  • Down (disabled)
  • Provisioned (configured but not in production)
  • Reserved
  • Deprecated

I would also like to ability to identify an interface as being in a monitored state. Without the use of custom fields, that may fall under #1041?

Overall I am not sure if this all falls under #1041 or should be treated as new request?

I'd like to implement administrative state as just enabled or disabled. That maps cleanly to configured state on a device. The other states can be somewhat inferred by the connection state.

Let's wrap this into #1041 since it looks like both will be implemented at the same time.
