NetBox version

v4.5.2

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

I propose to add a field "remote_endpoint" in order to make clear which tunnel enpoint belongs to which remote tunnel endpoint.

Use case

In the current implementation of Tunnels, a tunnel termination only identifies which interface belongs to which tunnel with a role (Hub/Spoke/Peer). However, it does not specify which other termination it is actually connected to (peer endpoint). In fact, it is possible to create nonsense terminations (e.g. just two connections of type spoke). In the following illustration it is not possible to determine which interface is connected to which interface.

This FR makes it possible to clearly assign tunnel ends to each other. This in turn makes it possible to visualise these connections. Currently, visualisation is neither possible via tunnel interfaces nor via interfaces of type "virtual".

Database changes

New field in TunnelTermination Model is required. Probably a new model "Virtual Connections" should be implemented.
