Add support for 800G interface types #11227

@dare-to-recurse

Description

@dare-to-recurse

NetBox version

v3.4.1

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Add the following options to the type selector

  • OSFP800 (800GE)
  • QSFP-DD800 (800GE)

The preferred names for the interface types according to the published specifications seems to be OSFP800 and QSFP-DD800 (though it remains to be seen if vendors diverge from this)

QSFP-DD800 specification (see page 1 - document title): http://www.qsfp-dd.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/QSFP-DD-Hardware-Rev6.3-final.pdf
OSFP800 specification (see page 13): https://osfpmsa.org/assets/pdf/OSFP_Module_Specification_Rev5_0.pdf

Use case

800G interfaces/transceivers seem to be appearing on the market, and implementing support for these interface types enables accurate modeling of 800G connections.

Database changes

I don't believe this should require database changes.

External dependencies

None.
