Add "Wireless role" (rf_role) field to the InterfaceTemplate model #13170
Description
NetBox version
v3.5.6
Feature type
Data model extension
Proposed functionality
I would like to request the ability to set a value for the "Wireless role" (rf_role) field within an interface template and for it to be copied over to the corresponding interface when it is instantiated.
Use case
A lot of wireless interfaces always function as either an "Access point" or "Station" and being able to set that within the interface template would be a huge time savings. I have recently been planning to migrate all of our APs into NetBox and was surprised to see that I was unable to designate their wireless radios with an "Access point" role while modeling the device types. It would seem to me that this has a similar use case to the existing ability to set "PoE mode" in the interface template. As we have over a thousand APs in our network, it seems unnecessarily cumbersome to change that setting on all of the radio interfaces after the devices are instantiated.
Database changes
The rf_role field will need to be implemented on the InterfaceTemplate model, just like it is on the Interface model.
