NetBox version

v4.2.8

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

Hi!
There are some Cisco devices such as ASR 9006,
where for every linecard you can install 2 modules,so you have

TenGigabitEthernet rack/slot 1/subslot 0/port
TenGigabitEthernet rack/slot 1/subslot 1/port

So theorically same module number (slot 1) and 2 subslots.

Usually subslot can be 0 and 1

Use case

Better management of devices

Database changes

No response

External dependencies

In your example, the ASR 9006 does not inherently support installing two modules for every linecard. You first need to insert a MOD linecard, like an A9K-MOD200-TR. So you would model that as a module with two module bays to support the daughtercards, then you would models the required MPA modules to put in those bays.

Mmmh any suggestion how to manage this device ?
