@a084ed22 commented on GitHub (May 9, 2024):

dual-personality interfaces have been a topic discussed before. As far as I remember, the solutions offered were to either manually change the interface type depending on your needs, or to populate both i.e. in device templates, and let people pick the correct one as needed, differentiating between them with a suffix.

We've been experimenting with modeling dual-mode ports like this (1/1/1 in this example):

Logical:

  • 1/1/1 - Type Bridge

Physical:

  • 1/1/1|Copper - Type 1000BASE-T (1GE), Bridged interface 1/1/1
  • 1/1/1|SFP - Type SFP (1GE), Bridged interface 1/1/1
