Implement subslot numbers for devices

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

Hi!
There are some Cisco devices such as ASR 9006,
where for every linecard you can install 2 modules,so you have

TenGigabitEthernet rack/slot 1/subslot 0/port
TenGigabitEthernet rack/slot 1/subslot 1/port

So theorically same module number (slot 1) and 2 subslots.

Usually subslot can be 0 and 1

Use case

Better management of devices

Database changes

In your example, the ASR 9006 does not inherently support installing two modules for every linecard. You first need to insert a MOD linecard, like an A9K-MOD200-TR. So you would model that as a module with two module bays to support the daughtercards, then you would models the required MPA modules to put in those bays.

Mmmh any suggestion how to manage this device ?
