  2. In the Name field, enter a unique name for the network interface. When you generate a network asset instance, the generation process assigns this name to the slot.

    In the Inventory model field, the equipment inventory model that is associated with the equipment inventory template appears. If there is an associated inventory model, you can select one as needed.
