Add member switches to Virtual Chassis using API

[ody666]

Hi
Does anyone know, how additional members can be added to an existing virtual-chassis over API?
Or is this not supported?
Best regards,
Andy

Hi Andy,

Yes, this is supported via the devices API endpoint.

To add an existing device as a member of an existing virtual chassis, update the device and set the virtual chassis ID together with the member position, and optionally the priority.

For example:

PATCH /api/dcim/devices/<device_id>/
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "virtual_chassis": <virtual_chassis_id>,
  "vc_position": 2,
  "vc_priority": 100
}

If you are creating the device at the same time, you can include the same fields in the POST /api/dcim/devices/ payload.

You can also check the exact fields supported by your NetBox version in the Swagger UI under /api/schema/swagger-ui/.

Hope that helps!
