A Nautobot plugin for bulk connections

Project description

nautobot-bulk-connect

is a plugin for connecting rear ports in bulk.

Please note that this plugin uses internal Nautobot components, which is explicitly discouraged by the documentation. We promise to keep the plugin up to date, but the latest version might break on unsupported Nautobot version. Your mileage may vary.

Installation

The plugin can be found on pypi. You should therefore be able to install it using pip:

pip install nautobot-bulk-connect

Make sure to use the same version of pip that manages Nautobot, so if you’ve set up a virtual environment, you will have to use <venv>/bin/pip instead.

After that, you should be able to install the plugin as described in the Nautobot documentation. You’ll have to add this to your PLUGINS_CONFIG:

PLUGINS_CONFIG = {
    'nautobot_bulk_connect': {
        'device_role': None,
    }
}

Set device_role to a role name if you only want that role name to have the plugin functionality.

Usage

The plugin will add a button to your device view that allows you to connect rear ports to other rear ports in bulk, by specifying starting ports and a number/count of ports.

The button

The form you will be presented with looks like the form you are used to from cable connections already.

The cabling form

The plugin will perform basic sanity checks on your input: if any rear port inside the range is already connected, or the count goes outside of the range of available rear ports on either side, an error message will be returned.


Have fun!
