Would it be possible to specify an optional interface name to be created while bulk importing devices? Since an interface is required when bulk importing IP addresses associated with a device this would be very helpful.

Interfaces are automatically created according to the specified device type, which is completely user-defined. So for example, say you create a switch named "Juniper EX4300-48T" with interfaces ge-0/0/[0-47]. When you import a new device of that type, those 48 interfaces get created automatically.

Excellent! I didn't know that worked that way. Tested it out and that works great.
Thanks!
