Description

I would like to request the VRF RD be increased to 129 characters - we use Cisco ACI and that's the max length for RDs on the platform (as they are in the format Tenant:VRF Name) and I'd like to keep this for our consumption via NetBox rather than have to keep some form of mapping somewhere external. It could stand that two tenants have a VRF name the same, and we have some tenants with long names, so the current 21 characters is quite restrictive.

I have seen #1817 however given this is a technical reasoning I would like to request it's consideration aside from the previous discussion around this.

The route distinguisher field represents an RD as defined in RFC 4364, which has a maximum length of 21 characters. It's not intended to be repurposed for proprietary systems, but you can create a custom field on the VRF model to hold this data.
