Support for uploading list of Devices?

[gaby]

I have a weird use-case where there's around 50-70 hosts, but the lab uses a /16. Using the built-in scan in UpSnap is not feasable, I just takes forever and generates a lot of noise in the network with the large number of IP's.

Currently I could add devices one by one, but it would be useful to be able to add multiple from a file of mac addresses. Once upload UpSnap would scan each MAC to get information about IP's, or Domains, etc.

@seriousm4x Thoughts?

I like the idea of giving the user multiple options to import devices automatically. I thought about a new section here called "Import" or something next to network scan.

And then giving the user multiple options to batch import devices. Just some ideas:

• Text field with mac addresses splitted by line (basically what you want)
• Upload a json
• ... ?

@seriousm4x Yes, that would work. Just another tab with a different way of importing devices. 💪

Endline delimited file, or json, or yaml would work.

I believe only the MAC Address should/could be the required field. The UI then can have the same options to specify things like the ones in Manual or Network Scan.
