Overview

This node interacts with the NetBox API to perform operations related to Power Ports within the DCIM domain. Specifically, the 'Trace' operation allows users to trace the connectivity or path of a specified Power Port by its ID. This is useful for network administrators or data center managers who need to understand the power connectivity and dependencies of devices in their infrastructure.

Use Case Examples

1. Tracing the power path of a specific power port to diagnose power distribution issues.
2. Retrieving detailed connectivity information of a power port for documentation or auditing purposes.
