Hi everybody,
I'm Philipp working in the network team of the University of Basel, Switzerland. We use NAV since many years to provide self-service port administration for our colleagues and power users throughout our campus. NAV became a key service that everyone highly appreciates. Many thanks for your great effort at this point!
Yesterday I submitted a feature request at github.com, unfortunately _after_ reading "hacking.rst"
https://github.com/Uninett/nav/issues/1971
It's about providing an option (because I'm not sure everybody with cisco_voice_vlan = true want's this) in PortAdmin to automatically enable CDP if you check the "Tel" checkbox.
We already have a patch for that, however, without the possibility to opt in or out which needs some additional config file parsing.
But before I submit anything, what do think about the idea of automatically enable CDP on voice ports?
Cheers, Philipp

Ha! More than one of us (that we know of) will be visiting Basel for EuroPython 2019 in July. Meeting IRL will be quite possible!

It's being going a bit slow lately thanks to working to get rid of technical debt (read: migrating to Python 3), so thanks!

The man with the plan (and veto) is on summer vacation, choices like that will have to wait until he is back.
However, AFAIK we don't have that particular combination of hardware, so you'll have to be very thorough with the automated testing bits if we do go for it. (Not having enough tests is also a reason getting to Python 3 is taking so long..)

Hi Philipp! Lovely city, Basel - as Hanne mentioned, we were both just there for this year's EuroPython. I also met Mischa Diehm there :-)

You're free to post feature requests, you know. The hacking file only stipulates that when you are considering of putting in some feature development effort yourself (which you already did), it's always a good idea to verify that the implementation idea is sound and that someone else isn't already working on it (particularly if you are planning to contribute your code to the project). This mailing list is a suitable place for such discussions :-)
For smaller ideas or bugfixes, we are just as happy to just receive a pull request on GitHub, and we'll have the discussion there.

I certainyly think the idea has merit, and I would welcome a pull request on GitHub!
