Install

Run pip install netbox-topology-views in your virtual env.

Add 'netbox_topology_views' to the PLUGINS array in your django configuration file.

Then run python3 manage.py collectstatic --no-input

Custom field: coordinates

There is also support for custom fiels.

If you create a custom field "coordinates" for "dcim > device" with type "text" and name "coordinates" you will see the same layout every time.

The coordinates can then be provided as: "X;Y"

Configure

If you want to override the default values configure the PLUGINS_CONFIG in your netbox configuration.py.

Example:

PLUGINS_CONFIG = { 'netbox_topology_views': { 'device_img': 'router,switch,firewall', 'preselected_device_roles': 'Router, Firewall' } } 
Setting Default value Description
device_img 'access-switch,core-switch,firewall,router,distribution-switch,backup,storage,wan-network,wireless-ap,server,internal-switch,isp-cpe-material,non-racked-devices,power-units' The slug of the device roles that you have a image for.
preselected_device_roles 'Firewall,Router,Distribution Switch,Core Switch,Internal Switch,Access Switch,Server,Storage,Backup,Wireless AP' The full name of the device roles you want to pre select in the global view. Note that this is case sensitive
