Overview

This node interacts with the NetBox API to list front ports within the DCIM domain. It allows users to retrieve a list of front ports with optional filtering and pagination controls. This is useful for network administrators or IT professionals who want to query and manage front port data from their NetBox instance programmatically.

Use Case Examples

1. Retrieve all front ports from the NetBox DCIM domain.
2. List front ports filtered by device ID or port type.
3. Limit the number of front ports returned to a specific count for pagination.
