Feature Request: Possible to use napalm

[davama]

Hello,

Wondering if it is possible to instead of pull device interfaces from the device type, but from napalm in order to sync.

Hope this makes sense.

Thank you,
Dave

That's an interesting feature request that if implemented, but it sort of overlaps with ntc-netbox-plugin-onboarding.

I personally like this implementation because it allows me to keep my device in sync with the device-type model I defined. I rather not import sub interfaces, vlan interfaces, and loopbacks specific to a device since that may not be common for the device type/model.

That's not to say you could not do an implementation like what you are describing, that could only sync interfaces of a specific type (of your choosing), etc. I would just recommend an option to allow users to enable or disable the napalm function.

Thank you for the reply @ryanmerolle

That's exactly what I would prefer.

Just a comparison/sync with physical interfaces.

I'm not the maintainer, but just a lurker.

The feature would likely require quite a bit of work compared to the current functionality in place.
