# NetBox Device Type Library
|
|
|
|
## About this Library
|
|
|
|
This library is intended to be used for populating device types in [NetBox](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox)
|
|
version 2.7 or later. It contains a set of device type definitions expressed in YAML and arranged by manufacturer. Each
|
|
file represents a discrete physical device type (e.g. make and model). These definitions can be loaded into NetBox to
|
|
obviate the need to create device types and their associated components manually.
|
|
|
|
If you would like to contribute to this library, please read through our [contributing guide](CONTRIBUTING.md) before
|
|
submitting content.
|
|
|
|
If you would like to automate the import of these devicetype template files, there is a **community based** python script
|
|
that will check for duplicates, allow you to selectively import vendors, etc. available here [minitriga/Netbox-Dvice-Type-Library-Import](https://github.com/minitriga/Netbox-Device-Type-Library-Import). **Note**: This is not related to Netbox in any official way and you will not get support for it here.
|
|
|
|
## Device Type Definitions
|
|
|
|
Each definition must include at minimum the following fields:
|
|
|
|
- `manufacturer`: The name of the manufacturer which produces this device type.
|
|
- `model`: The model number of the device type. This must be unique per manufacturer.
|
|
- `slug`: A URL-friendly representation of the model number. Like the model number, this must be unique per
|
|
manufacturer.
|
|
|
|
The following fields may optionally be declared:
|
|
|
|
- `part_number`: An alternative representation of the model number (e.g. a SKU).
|
|
- `u_height`: The height of the device type in rack units. (Default: 1)
|
|
- `is_full_depth`: A boolean which indicates whether the device type consumes both the front and rear rack faces.
|
|
(Default: true)
|
|
- `subdevice_role`: Indicates that this is a `parent` or `child` device. (Default: None)
|
|
|
|
For further detail on these attributes and those listed below, please reference the
|
|
[schema definition](tests/schema.json).
|
|
|
|
### Component Definitions
|
|
|
|
Valid component types are listed below. Each type of component must declare a list of the individual component templates
|
|
to be added.
|
|
|
|
- `console-ports`
|
|
- `console-server-ports`
|
|
- `power-ports`
|
|
- `power-outlets`
|
|
- `interfaces`
|
|
- `rear-ports`
|
|
- `front-ports`
|
|
- `device-bays`
|
|
|
|
The available fields for each type of component are listed below.
|
|
|
|
#### Console Ports
|
|
|
|
- `name`: Port name
|
|
- `type`: Port type slug (API value)
|
|
|
|
#### Console Server Ports
|
|
|
|
- `name`: Port name
|
|
- `type`: Port type slug (API value)
|
|
|
|
#### Power Ports
|
|
|
|
- `name`: Port name
|
|
- `type`: Port type slug (API value)
|
|
- `maximum_draw`: The port's maximum power draw, in watts (optional)
|
|
- `allocated_draw`: The port's allocated power draw, in watts (optional)
|
|
|
|
#### Power Outlets
|
|
|
|
- `name`: Outlet name
|
|
- `type`: Port type slug (API value)
|
|
- `power_port`: The name of the power port on the device which powers this outlet (optional)
|
|
- `feed_leg`: The phase (leg) of power to which this outlet is mapped; A, B, or C (optional)
|
|
|
|
#### Interfaces
|
|
|
|
- `name`: Interface name
|
|
- `type`: Interface type slug (API value)
|
|
- `mgmt_only`: A boolean which indicates whether this interface is used for management purposes only (default: false)
|
|
|
|
#### Front Ports
|
|
|
|
- `name`: Port name
|
|
- `type`: Port type slug (API value)
|
|
- `rear_port`: The name of the rear port on this device to which the front port maps
|
|
- `rear_port_position`: The corresponding position on the mapped rear port (default: 1)
|
|
|
|
#### Rear Ports
|
|
|
|
- `name`: Port name
|
|
- `type`: Port type slug (API value)
|
|
- `positions`: The number of front ports that can map to this rear port (default: 1)
|
|
|
|
#### Device Bays
|
|
|
|
- `name`: Bay name
|
|
|
|
## Data Validation / Commit Quality Checks
|
|
|
|
There are two ways this repo focuses on keeping quality device-type definitions:
|
|
|
|
- Pre-Commit Checks - Optional for helping to identify simple issues before committing. (trailing-whitespace, end-of-file-fixer, check-yaml, yamlfmt, yamllint)
|
|
- [Install pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/#install) (or just use the requirements.txt file)
|
|
- To install the pre-commit script `pre-commit install`
|
|
- To run the pre-commit script on changed files `pre-commit run`
|
|
- To run the pre-commit script on all files `pre-commit run --all`
|
|
- To uninstall the pre-commit script `pre-commit uninstall`
|
|
- Learn more about [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/)
|
|
- GitHub Actions - Automatically run before a PR can be merged. Repeats yamllint & validates against NetBox Device-Type Schema.
