We just took delivery of 4,800 CDATA GPON ONTs pre-labelled with the subscriber allocations. Rather than plug each into NMM inventory manually, is there a supported way to bulk-import from CSV that also pre-binds to the plan? Docs mention the /api/nmm/inventory endpoint but examples are single-record only. Anyone have a script or an nmm-cli command?

Yes — `nmm-cli inventory import --csv onts.csv --bind-plan basic-gpon` handles this. CSV columns: mac, serial, model, subscriber_id (optional). If subscriber_id is set, it pre-binds; otherwise sits in a staging pool until a subscriber activates. We do 3k-5k units a week this way.

Add --validate-first if you want a dry run — catches malformed MACs before touching the DB. Saved me from a supplier who shipped a batch with two swapped digits on 40 units.
