This library is intended to be used for populating device types in [NetBox](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox). It contains a set of device type definitions expressed in YAML and arranged by manufacturer. Each file represents a discrete physical device type (e.g. make and model). These definitions can be loaded into NetBox to obviate the need to create device types and their associated components manually.
# Guidelines for Defining Device Types
* Every unique model number requires a discrete definition file, even if the set of components is identical.
* Include only components which are fixed to the chassis. Optional modular components should be omitted from the definition.
* Name components as they appear in the device's operating system (as opposed to the physical chassis label, if different).
* Avoid encapulating YAML values in quotes unless necessary to avoid a syntax error.
# Device Type Definitions
Each definition must include at minimum the following fields:

* `part_number`: An alternative representation of the model number (e.g. a SKU).
* `u_height`: The height of the device type in rack units. (Default: 1)
* `is_full_depth`: A boolean which indicates whether the device type consumes both the front and rear rack faces. (Default: true)
* `comments`: Free-form comments concerning the device type. These must be universally applicable to the specific device type.
* `subdevice_role`: Indicicates that this is a `parent` or `child` device. (Default: None)
## Component Definitions
Valid component types are listed below. Each type of component must declare a list of the individual component templates to be added.
* `console_ports`
* `console_server_ports`
* `power_ports`
* `power_outlets`
* `console-ports`
* `console-server-ports`
* `power-ports`
* `power-outlets`
* `interfaces`
* `rear_ports`
* `front_ports`
* `rear-ports`
* `front-ports`
* `device-bays`
The available fields for each type of component are listed below.
### Console Ports
* `name`: Port name
* `type`: Port type
### Console Server Ports
* `name`: Port name
* `type`: Port type
### Power Ports
* `name`: Port name

### Power Outlers
### Power Outlets
* `name`: Outlet name
* `type`: Port type
* `power_port`: The name of the power port on the device which powers this outlet (optional)
* `feed_leg`: The phase (leg) of power to which this outlet is mapped (optional)
