{#name-convention-templates__table_f4w_r1y_ztb__entry__2}

| Variable name | Description |
|-|-|
| position | Unit position of either the interface or slot/holder that it is getting applied 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 in, 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 in, if the slot/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. |
