[Question] Specific interface for Config Context

[Domisiding]

Hello,
I wanted to ask if you can also select an interface for the individual interfaces with this script in the config context.

Example:

Zabbix Agent on Interface 01
SNMP on interface 02

I think that this is easier then expacted since the interface functionality class is decoupled from the device class. However i'm unavailable for next weekend. Please give me some time to think about it and i'll come back to this suggestion asap :)

Hello,
I wanted to ask what the status is and whether a possibility has been found.

To follow up on this request: There is a huge difference on whether the individual interfaces should also have unique IP addresses. Is this also something that you want in your use case? Or does the functionallity implemented in netbox-community/netbox#8137 cover that use case?

Furthermore could you give an example of your use case? For example a server with 1 management address and one for IPMI?

Hello,
For example, if you have a server that is provisioned via "iDRAC". You have one IP for the "iDRAC" and one IP for the regular server.

For example, if you want to monitor the iDRAC and the things on the server. If you have the iDRAC on interface 1, SNMP should be running there and the main (primary) IP of the Zabbix agent on interface 2.

192.0.0.1 (Interface 1 <- SNMP)
192.0.0.2 (Interface 2 | Primary <- Zabbix Agent)

Okay so with the new out-of-band management IP address field this is a lot simpeler. However i'm struggeling with the logic of interface adjustments. When an IP address changes, which one of the 2 interfaces should be adjusted? Or if the protocol switches from agent to SNMP, how would the sync script have any idea which interface to adjust? Stretching this issue further templates are linked to interfaces for certain functons. So Zabbix could complain about resetting an interface (or both interfaces.) I'll look into this but unfortunately i can't promise much.

A workaround for now (although a bit cumbersome) would be to have 2 hosts for a server. One for the agent coming from Netbox and 1 manually configured for the IPMI.

I second the idea of using OOB IP as a secondary interface in Zabbix.
