 * It's very important that you not submit a pull request until a relevant issue has been opened **and** assigned to you. Otherwise, you risk wasting time on work that may ultimately not be needed.
 
-* New pull requests should generally be based off of the `develop` branch, rather than `master`. The `develop` branch is used for ongoing development, while `master` is used for tracking stable releases. (If you're developing for an upcoming minor release, use `feature` instead.)
+* New pull requests should generally be based off of the `main` branch. This branch, in keeping with the [trunk-based development](https://trunkbaseddevelopment.com/) approach, is used for ongoing development and bug fixes and always represents the newest stable code, from which releases are periodically branched. (If you're developing for an upcoming minor release, use `feature` instead.)
 
 * In most cases, it is not necessary to add a changelog entry: A maintainer will take care of this when the PR is merged. (This helps avoid merge conflicts resulting from multiple PRs being submitted simultaneously.)

+# Google
+
+This guide explains how to configure single sign-on (SSO) support for NetBox using [Google OAuth2](https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/web-server) as an authentication backend.
+
+## Google OAuth2 Configuration
+
+1. Log into [console.cloud.google.com](https://console.cloud.google.com/).
+2. Create new project for NetBox.
+3. Under "APIs and Services" click "OAuth consent screen" and enter the required information.
+4. Under "Credentials," click "Create Credentials" and select "OAuth 2.0 Client ID." Select type "Web application."
+    - "Authorized JavaScript origins" should follow the format `http[s]://<netbox>[:<port>]`
+    - "Authorized redirect URIs" should follow the format `http[s]://<netbox>[:<port>]/oauth/complete/google-oauth2/`
+5. Copy the "Client ID" and "Client Secret" values somewhere convenient.
+
+!!! note
+    Google requires the NetBox hostname to use a public top-level-domain (e.g. `.com`, `.net`). The use of IP addresses is not permitted (except `127.0.0.1`).
+
+For more information, consult [Google's documentation](https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/web-server#prerequisites).
+
+## NetBox Configuration
+
+### 1. Enter configuration parameters
+
+Enter the following configuration parameters in `configuration.py`, substituting your own values:
+
+```python
+REMOTE_AUTH_BACKEND = 'social_core.backends.google.GoogleOAuth2'
+SOCIAL_AUTH_GOOGLE_OAUTH2_KEY = '{CLIENT_ID}'
+SOCIAL_AUTH_GOOGLE_OAUTH2_SECRET = '{CLIENT_SECRET}'
+```
+
+### 2. Restart NetBox
+
+Restart the NetBox services so that the new configuration takes effect. This is typically done with the command below:
+
+```no-highlight
+sudo systemctl restart netbox
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+Log out of NetBox if already authenticated, and click the "Log In" button at top right. You should see the normal login form as well as an option to authenticate using Google. Click that link.
+
+![NetBox Google login form](../../media/authentication/netbox_google_login.png)
+
+You should be redirected to Google's authentication portal. Enter the username/email and password of your test account to continue. You may also be prompted to grant this application access to your account.
+
+![NetBox Google login form](../../media/authentication/google_login_portal.png)
+
+If successful, you will be redirected back to the NetBox UI, and will be logged in as the Google user. You can verify this by navigating to your profile (using the button at top right).
+
+This user account has been replicated locally to NetBox, and can now be assigned groups and permissions.

 NetBox supports single sign-on authentication via the [python-social-auth](https://github.com/python-social-auth) library. To enable SSO, specify the path to the desired authentication backend within the `social_core` Python package. Please see the complete list of [supported authentication backends](https://github.com/python-social-auth/social-core/tree/master/social_core/backends) for the available options.
 
 Most remote authentication backends require some additional configuration through settings prefixed with `SOCIAL_AUTH_`. These will be automatically imported from NetBox's `configuration.py` file. Additionally, the [authentication pipeline](https://python-social-auth.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pipeline.html) can be customized via the `SOCIAL_AUTH_PIPELINE` parameter. (NetBox's default pipeline is defined in `netbox/settings.py` for your reference.)
+
+#### Configuring the SSO module's appearance
+
+The way a remote authentication backend is displayed to the user on the login
+page may be adjusted via the `SOCIAL_AUTH_BACKEND_ATTRS` parameter, defaulting
+to an empty dictionary. This dictionary maps a `social_core` module's name (ie.
+`REMOTE_AUTH_BACKEND.name`) to a couple of parameters, `(display_name, icon)`.
+
+The `display_name` is the name displayed to the user on the login page. The
+icon may either be the URL of an icon; refer to a [Material Design
+Icons](https://github.com/google/material-design-icons) icon's name; or be
+`None` for no icon.
+
+For instance, the OIDC backend may be customized with
+```python
+SOCIAL_AUTH_BACKEND_ATTRS = {
+    'oidc': ("My awesome SSO", "login"),
+}
+```

You can create a webhook in NetBox for the device model and craft its content and destination URL to effect the desired change on the receiving system. You can then associate an event rule with this webhook and the webhook will be sent automatically by NetBox whenever the configured constraints are met.

+
+A MAC address object in NetBox comprises a single Ethernet link layer address, and represents a MAC address as reported by or assigned to a network interface. MAC addresses can be assigned to [device](../dcim/device.md) and [virtual machine](../virtualization/virtualmachine.md) interfaces. A MAC address can be specified as the primary MAC address for a given device or VM interface.
+
+Most interfaces have only a single MAC address, hard-coded at the factory. However, on some devices (particularly virtual interfaces) it is possible to assign additional MAC addresses or change existing ones. For this reason NetBox allows multiple MACAddress objects to be assigned to a single interface.
+
+## Fields

+# VLAN Translation Policies
+
+!!! info "This feature was introduced in NetBox v4.2."
+
+VLAN translation is a feature that consists of VLAN translation policies and [VLAN translation rules](./vlantranslationrule.md). Many rules can belong to a policy, and each rule defines a mapping of a local to remote VLAN ID (VID). A policy can then be assigned to an [Interface](../dcim/interface.md) or [VMInterface](../virtualization/vminterface.md), and all VLAN translation rules associated with that policy will be visible in the interface details.
+
+There are uniqueness constraints on `(policy, local_vid)` and on `(policy, remote_vid)` in the `VLANTranslationRule` model. Thus, you cannot have multiple rules linked to the same policy that have the same local VID or the same remote VID. A set of policies and rules might look like this:
+
+Policy 1:
+- Rule: 100 -> 200
+- Rule: 101 -> 201
+
+Policy 2:
+- Rule: 100 -> 300
