Hello, unfortunately I can't reproduce this. Can you also include the log before, where interfaces are created (obviously without sensitive information)?

Hello,
The problem described above applies to the VMware and iOSXE sources.
Thanks

[bl4ko]

I have added more verbose logs, could you rerun develop version again?

Which netbox version are you running?

[Geekul]

Which netbox version are you running?

4.2.1

[bl4ko]

Could you maybe try 4.2.2.

I actually have no idea why this happens, I also can't reproduce it on my 4.2.2 instance, but I have seen there were some mac address fixes in 4.2.2: netbox-community/netbox#18363.

Fixes like this also make my microservice uncompatible between patch versions, since it completely relies on API functionalities 😞 ...
