Released 2026-01-07 - View on GitHub

🎉 Netbox 4.5.0 Compatibility Release

This release adds full compatibility with Netbox 4.5.0 (officially released January 2026).

✨ New Features

Token v2 Bearer Authentication - Support for new nbt_<KEY>.<TOKEN> format tokens - Automatic detection and handling of v1 vs v2 token formats - Test-NBAuthentication function for auth verification

Cable Profiles - Cable_Profile parameter on Get-NBDCIMCable, New-NBDCIMCable, Set-NBDCIMCable - Supports all Netbox cable profile values (single, trunk, breakout)

Object Ownership - Get-NBOwner, New-NBOwner, Set-NBOwner, Remove-NBOwner - Get-NBOwnerGroup, New-NBOwnerGroup, Set-NBOwnerGroup, Remove-NBOwnerGroup

Port Mappings (Bidirectional) - rear_ports and front_ports parameters for bidirectional port mapping - Automatic sync between FrontPort and RearPort relationships

New Fields (4.5+) - Start_On_Boot for Virtual Machines - Enabled for various endpoints - Color for expanded endpoint support

🔄 Deprecation Handling

  • Is_Staff parameter on User functions is deprecated in Netbox 4.5 and will be ignored

⚠️ Notes

  • Cable_Profile vs Profile: The PowerShell parameter is named Cable_Profile because $Profile is a reserved PowerShell automatic variable. An alias Profile is provided for backward compatibility.
  • Minimum Netbox version remains 4.1
  • Tested against Netbox 4.5.0, 4.4.9, 4.3.7, and 4.1.11
