Welcome to the NetBox Cookbook repository! This is a community-driven collection of handy examples, scripts, and recipes to help users get started with NetBox and share ideas on how to make the most of it.
⚠️ Important Notice: Some content in this repository is AI-generated or AI-assisted. While we strive for accuracy, all scripts and configurations should be carefully reviewed before use in production environments.
NetBox is a powerful tool for network automation, providing IP address management (IPAM) and data center infrastructure management (DCIM). However, getting started or optimizing its usage can sometimes be challenging. This repository aims to make that journey easier by sharing practical, ready-to-use examples.
