Netbox Sync 403 Forbidden (possibly false error)
-
I configured Netbox sync in an environment today, and after I did everything by the book, I got a 403 forbidden error. I figured this was odd since I've done this before without any issues and was really sure I followed it all identically.
Anyway, after some digging, I realized the sync did work it just threw the error anyway.
I am seeing the "Source IP x.x.x. is not permitted to authenticate" but the API key I have setup is indeed set to allow the XOA IP address.
Any idea what would cause this? It's odd to me to see a 403 response when the sync absolutely worked.
Nothing has changed since the initial sync so I can't so for sure if it'll keep syncing OK or not, but it definitely worked the first time and did show the 403 error.

Figured it out after some digging, appears it's related to Netbox having ipv4 translated into ipv6 for that field, so to use IPv4 you have to have :ffff:x.x.x.x/128 as your IP address (the x's being your octet).
Once you do this it works without issue.
