VLAN Translation Policies

This feature was introduced in NetBox v4.2.

VLAN translation is a feature that consists of VLAN translation policies and VLAN translation rules. Many rules can belong to a policy, and each rule defines a mapping of a local to remote VLAN ID (VID). A policy can then be assigned to an Interface or VMInterface, and all VLAN translation rules associated with that policy will be visible in the interface details.

There are uniqueness constraints on (policy, local_vid) and on (policy, remote_vid) in the VLANTranslationRule model. Thus, you cannot have multiple rules linked to the same policy that have the same local VID or the same remote VID. A set of policies and rules might look like this:

Policy 1: - Rule: 100 -> 200 - Rule: 101 -> 201

Policy 2: - Rule: 100 -> 300 - Rule: 101 -> 301

However this is not allowed:

Policy 3: - Rule: 100 -> 200 - Rule: 100 -> 300
