Interface Import - Add VLAN import

[N0odlez]

NetBox version

v3.6.4

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

I would like to see the Interface import function support the changing of the vlans tagged and the default vlan. This will help bulk update saving time. It will also help with new people joining the Netbox community to be able to import their infrastructure quicker and easier.

Use case

Currently there is no way to bulk import interfaces and assign the vlan at the same time

I agree that the assignment of VLANs to interfaces is the biggest usability issue that we have with NetBox. We can import pretty much everything with CSV, except for the assignment of VLANs to an interface. This is currently a very manual process using the UI to bulk edit the interfaces on a device in order to assign the VLANs to interfaces on a network device. It is very tedious and error prone.

Currently we use the Netbox API as a workaround, but a bulk import with the specification of VLAN IDs would simplify the process a lot.

any possibility of this making it into 4.0.x or the 4.1 train?
Running into this now with a new implementation of netbox with about 800 VM's. We can import the interfaces with the mode, but not the untagged vlan, or the multiple tagged vlans.

I am hoping since you can bulk-edit vlans it isn't too much work to allow bulk-import of the same thing.... could someone pick that up in 4.1?
