Make IP-addresses visible in prefixes of other VRFs #17597
Comments
If I log onto a router and show the global table, I don't see VRF routes. Likewise, in the main VRF's don't see other VRF routes, unless I specifically configure routing leaking - so your use case is against how most routers would work. I think you need to flesh this out more, what you are describing is more akin to a l3 domain - but arguably its not VRF. |
I think you are mixing up how the real world works (which is like you describe it besides the fact that I do indeed see the transfer-networks in both VRFs that it connects) and how a useful display of information in the netbox GUI could be done. |
Current behavior is : if your prefix is set to 'global' then you will see all of the child prefixes and the IPs of all VRFs. once you select a VRF for the prefix, then only the child prefix and IPs of that VRF will be shown. |
The main consumers of NetBox are Network Engineers. NetBox is designed to mimic the real-world where possible. To your proposal, I do not want my IP's that are in VRF ABC to be displayed in the global table, irregardless of whether or not there is containing active prefix.
This is your use case, but not the thousands of other users of NetBox.
I don't think we need to add any additional knobs for this. I don't think this is an option the vast majority of the community wants. That said, you are free to create a plugin to display this how you like using the existing models.
Not 100% true. Behaviour is: If Prefix:
it will display those IPs |
NetBox version
v4.1.1
Feature type
Change to existing functionality
Proposed functionality
If you create a prefix in VRF Global and create an IP-Address in VRF-2, the IP-Address should be visible in the prefix you created in VRF Global.
The same applies for prefixes and child-prefixes.
Use case
Why would one want to have that?
How could that be achieved (just brainstorming)?
