Counter-intuitive use of icons in column "Tagged" on page VLANs / Device Interfaces #5484

Description

Environment

  • Python version: 3.7.3
  • NetBox version: 2.10.1

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create at least one VLAN.
  2. Add this VLAN to a couple of device interfaces, some in access mode, and others as tagged (switchport mode trunk).
  3. Navigate to the VLAN you just created (on page .../ipam/vlans/X/ where X represents the VLANs unique database key).
  4. Click on the tab "Device Interfaces".

Expected Behavior

In the column "Tagged", I would expect to see a kind of positive checkmark or icon for interfaces participating in the given VLAN with its 802.1Q mode set to "Tagged", and a kind of negative icon for interfaces participating in Access Mode.

Observed Behavior

This seems to have been swapped around: Interfaces where the VLAN is actually tagged are listed with a red X, which I interpret as a "No" - this interface is not tagged, while interfaces not being tagged are listed with a green Checkmark, which I interpret as a "Yes" - this one is tagged.

ipam_vlans_x_interfaces

The current use of icons seems counter-intuitive for a column named "Tagged". I think the usage should be swapped around, or the column could be renamed "Access Mode", or simply named "Mode" while using text showing "Access" or "Tagged" instead of the icons.
