    • The naming convention for associated templates defines how names are generated automatically when you create an equipment or interface card template.

    Table 1. Supported variables in the naming pattern
    Variable name Description
    position Unit position of the interface, slot, or holder it applies to.
    Note:
    The unit position always starts from 0. The slot/interface start number that is configured in the inventory model does not apply to the unit position.
    parent_slot_name Name of the slot that the card is inserted in, if the slot or interface belongs to a card.
    parent_slot_position Unit position of the slot that the card is inserted in, if the slot or interface belongs to a card.
    equipment_slot_name Name of the slot on the equipment where the base card is inserted, if the slot or interface belongs to a card. The parent_slot_name and equipment_slot_name hold the same value if the current card is a base card.
    equipment_slot_position Unit position of the slot on the equipment where the base card is inserted, if the slot or interface belongs to a card. The parent_slot_number and equipment_slot_number hold the same value if the current card is a base card.
    bandwidth Bandwidth value of the interface.
