NetBox version

v4.4.5

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

Add fields to specify the distance from the front and rear doors to the rack posts to the rack model.

Use case

Knowing the distance between the rack posts and doors are required to check if a device can be installed in a rack. Devices need different amounts of space in front of the posts, e.g. because the device is not flush with the rack posts or because cables and transceivers need some space to be routed.

Database changes

Add two additional fields to the rack model.

External dependencies

None.
