Front Ports

Front ports are pass-through ports used to represent physical cable connections that comprise part of a longer path. For example, the ports on the front face of a UTP patch panel would be modeled in Nautobot as front ports. Each port is assigned a physical type, and must be mapped to a specific rear port on the same device. A single rear port may be mapped to multiple rear ports, using numeric positions to annotate the specific alignment of each.

Added in version 1.4.5

The fields created and last_updated were added to all device component models. If you upgraded from Nautobot 1.4.4 or earlier, the values for these fields will default to None (null).

Changed in version 2.3.0

This model has been updated to support being installed in Modules. As a result, there are now two fields for assignment to a Device or Module. One of the device or module fields must be populated but not both. If a module is supplied, the device field must be null, and similarly the module field must be null if a device is supplied.
