NetBox version

3.7.5

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Some Dell switches use portmode hybrid in order to accept both tagged and untagged frames, set a physical port or port-channel. The explained use and syntax of this mode can be found here:
https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-in/dell-emc-os-9/s5048f-on-9.14.2.5-cli-pub/portmode-hybrid?guid=guid-3280b4ea-bb9f-4ca2-8d0f-9cb146504b1b&lang=en-us
The way Netbox is configured right now is to have the interface 802.1Q Mode on Access, Tagged or Tagged-all that allows the port to be in one mode either untagged or tagged but in Hybrid mode the port can be on both.

Use case

This option will be useful when creating a config template to add the following command 'portmode hybrid' into the switch interface allowing to have untagged and tagged vlans on it.

Database changes

No change needed in database or fields, it only an additional text field

External dependencies

None

This is synonymous with the concept of a "native" VLAN; the VLAN into which any untagged frames are placed. NetBox permits you to assign both tagged VLANs and the untagged VLAN for an interface.
