Show reverse bridge relationships on interface detail pages #20953

Description

@arthanson

NetBox version

v4.4.8

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

When an interface’s Bridged interface is set to another interface, only the source interface shows this relationship. The target interface has no indication that anything is bridged to it.

  1. Create two interfaces "int-A" and "int-B"
  2. on "int-A" set Bridged Interface to "int-B"
  3. Look on the detail view of Int-A and under Related Interfaces it shows Bridge pointing to Int-B
  4. Go to the detail page of Int-B and under Related Interfaces there is no indication that it has a Bridge

Use case

Operators visiting the physical NIC cannot see which virtual interfaces depend on it without API queries or manually checking other interfaces.
