Missing Paging on dcim interfaces causes browser to freeze on large datasets

[rungej]

NetBox version

v2.10.4

Python version

3.8

Steps to Reproduce

When having large datasets for interfaces on a device (OLT unit with up to 16,384 ports) browser freezes loading the page due to no paging of interface list.

API supports paging, however feature has not been implemented

Expected Behavior

Paging of interface list as per other components (such as device list)

Observed Behavior

browser freezes

Thank you for opening a bug report. Remember to provide detailed steps that someone else can follow using a clean installation of NetBox to reproduce the issue. Remember to include the steps taken to create any initial objects or other data.

@DanSheps

As per a standard OLT setup, add a new interface (as bulk creation):
Name: 1/1/[1-16]/[1-16]/[1-64]

After creation try to view the interface list. You can also try this with a smaller dataset such as 1/1/[1-2]/[1-16]/[1-64]

API Supports paging of data but just needs to be added to front end

@rungej It's a good idea, though not strictly a bug. I've opened #6001 as a feature request for the proposed work.
