nautobot-app-routing-tables 1.1.1

Nautobot App to model routing tables per device/VRF with optional auto-managed connected routes.

Nautobot App: Routing Tables

A Nautobot App to model routing tables per Device + VRF, including routes and routing protocols, and optional automatic management of connected routes derived from interface/IP/cable state.

Repository layout aligns with the Nautobot App Cookiecutter conventions.

Features

• RoutingTable per (Device, VRF)
• Route entries referencing native IPAM Prefix objects (destination)
• RoutingProtocol instances referencing a ProtocolType
• Default administrative distances per protocol type, overridable per protocol instance or per route
• Optional auto-create/delete managed connected routes when enabled:
  • Interface admin state changes (Interface.enabled)
  • Cable connect/disconnect changes (optional requirement)
  • IP addresses assigned/removed to interfaces

Permissions

All new models are Django models and therefore automatically get standard permissions:

• view, add, change, delete for each of:
  • ProtocolType
  • RoutingTable
  • RoutingProtocol
  • Route

UI/API viewsets use Nautobot's standard permission enforcement.

Compatibility

• Nautobot 2.4+ and 3.x
• Python 3.10+
