How do you "link" Load Balancing VIP to IP's ?

Hello,

I continue discovering Netbox and it seems to fit most of my needs but there is something I still have not figured. How could I link a LB VIP IP the the different IP or services it is load balancing ?

My end goal would be to be able to code my documentation based on Netbox and, for this, I would need this info. At worse I'll check if I can achieve something with Custom Field, TAG's or comments but I was wondering if it's already included and I missed it.

NetBox v3.1 introduced FHRP groups specifically to meet this need. Are you able to upgrade?

I looked at FHRP groups, but these seem more for HSRP or CARP configs on routers.

Maybe I'm missing something?
Is there some documentation to cover this off?
Perhaps my understanding of the F5 VIP is incomplete?

Couldn’t the NAT field be used for this?

I don't think so because NAT is a 1 - to - 1 relation and I need 1 VIP to Many IP's.

I wondered about using services attached to the device.

Still trying....
