About this task

A model relationship captures the relationships between the inventory models. By defining the relationships between the various network model entities, you can also define the compatibility between these entities.

For example, if you select Equipment to Slot in the Relationship Type field, you can define the relationship between a specific equipment inventory model and a specific slot inventory model. In this case, you would see that the number of slots in the specified slot model are compatible with the specified equipment model. To learn more, see Modeling network inventory relationships.

When you create a network model relationship, it creates a model in the Network Model [sn_ni_core_network_model_relationship] table.
