NIC Type

Similar to a Nautobot Device Type, a NIC Type represents a discrete model of a NIC, as defined by the Manufacturer, Name, and Part Number. NIC Types are instantiated as NICs installed within Devices, or as available spares in a Location. For example, you may define a NIC Type for an NVIDIA ConnectX-6 VPI Adapter Card HDR/200GbE, part number MCX653106A-HDAT-SP. Multiple instances of the NIC Type, named nic_0, nic_1, etc., can then be created as NICs installed in a particular Device.
