Hi Gabor, thanks for your reply ...
I knew I could do that. Indeed, I'm using that approach with self defined
objects to document VRFs, something that today is not directly supported
[1].
My question was trying to point out whether there is a way of, not only
documenting parent/child relationships among objects but also its slot/row
position. For example, how would document the slot position of 'network
switch' inside 'network chassis' ? How could I document that a network
switch is located in slot/row 3/4 inside a network chassis?
Thanks!!
Lucas
