Notes

MAC Addresses

1. Since netbox 4.2 MACs are independencty managed objects (compared with strings before). This now enforces uniqueness as well as other constraints, one of which is the MAC can only be assigned to one interface at once. This creates a bit of an issue for all of the virtual interface types which take their MAC from the physical interfaces they depend on (A lag or bridge's MAC is one of the slave devices, vlans take their parent device's MAC address). a. As such for now MAC addresses for all virtual interfaces.
