NetBox is an infrastructure resource modeling (IRM) tool designed to empower
 | 
			
		||||
network automation. Initially conceived by the network engineering team at
 | 
			
		||||
network automation, used by thousands of organizations around the world.

		||||
Initially conceived by the network engineering team at
 | 
			
		||||
[DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com/), NetBox was developed specifically
 | 
			
		||||
to address the needs of network and infrastructure engineers. It is intended to
 | 
			
		||||
function as a domain-specific source of truth for network operations.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Myriad infrastructure components can be modeled in NetBox, including:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
* Hierarchical regions, site groups, sites, and locations
 | 
			
		||||
* Racks, devices, and device components
 | 
			
		||||
* Cables and wireless connections
 | 
			
		||||
* Power distribution
 | 
			
		||||
* Data circuits and providers
 | 
			
		||||
* Virtual machines and clusters
 | 
			
		||||
* IP prefixes, ranges, and addresses
 | 
			
		||||
* VRFs and route targets
 | 
			
		||||
* FHRP groups (VRRP, HSRP, etc.)
 | 
			
		||||
* AS numbers
 | 
			
		||||
* VLANs and scoped VLAN groups
 | 
			
		||||
* Organizational tenants and contacts
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
In addition to its extensive built-in models and functionality, NetBox can be
 | 
			
		||||

 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
* Custom fields
 | 
			
		||||
* Custom links
 | 
			
		||||
* Configuration contexts
 | 
			
		||||
* Custom model validation rules
 | 
			
		||||
* Reports
 | 
			
		||||
* Custom scripts
 | 
			
		||||
* Export templates
 | 
			
		||||
* Conditional webhooks
 | 
			
		||||
* Plugins
 | 
			
		||||
* Single sign-on (SSO) authentication
 | 
			
		||||
* NAPALM integration
 | 
			
		||||
* Detailed change logging
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
NetBox also features a complete REST API as well as a GraphQL API for easily
 | 
			
		||||
integrating with other tools and systems.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
NetBox runs as a web application atop the [Django](https://www.djangoproject.com/)
 | 
			
		||||
Python framework with a [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) database. For a
 | 
			
		||||
complete list of requirements, see `requirements.txt`. The code is available [on GitHub](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox).
