New Field: interface.module

@gsnider2195 what does the Interface module actually do?

[gsnider2195]

That's for modeling supervisor modules or line cards for modular devices like the Catalyst 6500 or Nexus 7k. This will be the same for all device components that support modules in v2.3:

• ConsolePort
• ConsoleServerPort
• PowerPort
• PowerOutlet
• Interface
• FrontPort
• RearPort

They used to have a required foreign key to Device. Now they must have a foreign key to either Device OR Module (but not both)

[jvanderaa]

Isn't that device module? Or are we saying that there is a relationship in similar nature of device interface and VM interface that are slightly different for each?

[gsnider2195]

As far as the data model goes the change that was made was the addition of a module foreign key on the models listed above.

The relationship should look like this going forward:

• Device (cisco 6509)
  • Module (cisco 6500 48 port ethernet line card)
  • Interface (interfaces 1-48 that have a foreign key to the module)
