# Directions:
# Create a folder and populate it with the device configs, WITHOUT any .txt extension.  This will be added automatically
# Point the "CONFIG_PATH" variable below to the folder you just created
# This assumes all the platforms are the same... if not, you'll need some logic to determine the platform based on the file name
# Setup the variables below including the Image path, name, and site name, and then run the script
# It should create a site with a device corresponding to each file name in the folder
# The only thing you'll need to do then is associate a serial number with each device, which can be done by scanning the serial number
# of the device on the box into APIC-EM.
