Bulk import/assign OOB addresses

[andy-lawson]

NetBox version

v3.7.5

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Add the capability to add or assign device out-of-band IP addresses by bulk import or update.

Add an "is_oob" field to the IP address bulk import feature

Use case

• When importing IPs, it is currently possible to assign those IPs as the "Primary" IP for a device.
• Out-of-band IP status cannot be assigned in this manner during the bulk import or subsequent bulk update of IPs or devices.
• Out-of-band IP status is frequently overlooked because it cannot be bulk added or updated.

Database changes

None.

External dependencies

None.

Edit for clarity

@andy-lawson please modify your original post above to clearly indicate what field(s) you're proposing be added to which bulk import forms.

Updated as requested.

Was working on it and was wondering : if implemeted on bulk_import, shouldn't be added on IPAddressForm too to keep consistency ? It could be a box to check (like : "make it primary") under :

edit : I think that feature is asked on #17889

I too would like to see this functionality added.

Currently there is an option to make an address the primary using the is_primary field under the bulk add IP Address form.
It would be good to have something like this for the OOB here also as @andy-lawson has suggested like is_oob
