Proposed functionality

Permit complex naming whe modelling SFP and switch line card.
For Example use slot name + index for interface name exemple Slot 40GE{module}/0/{submodule} to have interface named 40GE0/0/0 when the sfp was installed in slot0 of a line card installed in slot0 of a switch.

Use case

I've a CE16816 with 16 bay for LSU (card for interface), I've 2 type of LSU CEL36LQFD nad CEL36CQFD respectivly for 40GE and 100GE port

I want to model the CE16816 with 16 empty slot, and install card to provide 36 port 40GE or 100GE
the port name was /0/ I want to install QSFP28-SR4 in the "20" 100GE port of slot "16" and have an interface named 100GE16/0/0/20
