    Note:
    Not all inventory templates have a relationship with a network interface template. Some equipment inventory templates only have a single network interface relationship, while some interface card templates don't have any relationship to slots as a parent. However, an equipment and interface card template must have those many slots or interfaces defined as per their model relationship.
