Hi everyone, We need to have a way to deal with static and dynamic VLAN allocation in our platform, but, it seems this feature is not implemented on Netbox. A similar feature requested was made in January 2020 (#3251), but was closed.
Thanks |

The reason was given here. Netbox models VLANs as individual items, not as ranges. It would be difficult to model all possible use cases, such as QinQ. You could pre-populate VLANs with status 'reserved', and change them to 'active' when allocated. Alternatively, Netbox now supports plugins which would allow you to implement your own data model for VLAN pools. |

Thanks for the quick answer. I will take a look on the plugins support. Do you know if a similar feature is already existing in plugins? |
