# About this Library
|
|
|
|
This library is intended to be used for populating device types in [NetBox](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox)
|
|
version 2.7 or later. 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.
|
|
|
|
If you would like to contribute to this library, please read through our [contributing guide](CONTRIBUTING.md) before
|
|
submitting content.

# Device Type Definitions
|
|
|
|
Each definition must include at minimum the following fields:
|
|
|
|
* `manufacturer`: The name of the manufacturer which produces this device type.
|
|
* `model`: The model number of the device type. This must be unique per manufacturer.
|
|
* `slug`: A URL-friendly representation of the model number. Like the model number, this must be unique per
|
|
manufacturer.
|
|
|
|
The following fields may optionally be declared:
|
|
|
|
* `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)
|
|
* `subdevice_role`: Indicates that this is a `parent` or `child` device. (Default: None)
|
|
|
|
For further detail on these attributes and those listed below, please reference the
|
|
[schema definition](tests/schema.json).
|
|
|
|
## 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`
|
|
* `interfaces`
|
|
* `rear-ports`
|
|
* `front-ports`
|
|
* `device-bays`
|
|
|
|
The available fields for each type of component are listed below.
|
|
