v2.1.0 - 2017-07-25

New Features

IP Address Roles (#819)

The IP address model now supports the assignment of a functional role to help identify special-purpose IPs. These include:

• Loopback
• Secondary
• Anycast
• VIP
• VRRP
• HSRP
• GLBP

Automatic Provisioning of Next Available IP (#1246)

A new API endpoint has been added at /api/ipam/prefixes/<pk>/available-ips/. A GET request to this endpoint will return a list of available IP addresses within the prefix (up to the pagination limit). A POST request will automatically create and return the next available IP address.

NAPALM Integration (#1348)

The NAPALM automation library provides an abstracted interface for pulling live data (e.g. uptime, software version, running config, LLDP neighbors, etc.) from network devices. The NetBox API has been extended to support executing read-only NAPALM methods on devices defined in NetBox. To enable this functionality, ensure that NAPALM has been installed (pip install napalm) and the NETBOX_USERNAME and NETBOX_PASSWORD configuration parameters have been set in configuration.py.

Enhancements

• #838 - Display details of all objects being edited/deleted in bulk
• #1041 - Added enabled and MTU fields to the interface model
• #1121 - Added asset_tag and description fields to the InventoryItem model
• #1141 - Include RD when listing VRFs in a form selection field
• #1203 - Implemented query filters for all models

Bug Fixes

• #1079 - Order interfaces naturally via API

API changes

• Added a new API endpoint which makes NAPALM accessible via NetBox

• Added two new fields to the interface serializer: enabled (boolean) and mtu (unsigned integer)
• Modified the interface serializer to include three discrete fields relating to connections: is_connected (boolean), interface_connection, and circuit_termination

• Added "wireless" to interface type filter (in addition to physical, virtual, and LAG)
• Added a new endpoint at /api/ipam/prefixes//available-ips/ to retrieve or create available IPs within a prefix
