So how do we name internal links in a way that is usefull for all operators, and conforms to the A-Z 0-9 and "-" and can be proposed as an RFC?
How about the Sprintlink:
I where not thinking on SL only, I where looking at something more generic.
sl-pop-router#-port[-speed].sprintlink.net
The speed thing is debatable, some people wants it, someone does not, and someone are willing to pay me $50/mont to make DNS say OC3c on their DS0. SL-POP-ROUTER is kindof Sprint specific, others have other ideas on how to name routers, how about this; router-slot#-port#[-port#][-ts#-#][-dlci#].europa.net Where "router" is something that is syntactically correct. A cisco with a VIP in slot 0 and a hssi in PA-slot 1 with a HSSI port in 0 would be; peter-bath-room-slot0-port1-port0.europa.net Ts for timeslots on a chanalized card Dlci for a flame-delay circiut ATM? X.25? SMDS?
But instead of h0/0, use h0-0; s2-6; etc...
Is this actually usefull, the NOC person will be guided to the right box/slot/port and can use other tools to figure out the media type, wich is in my opionion not very usefull to knew.
i.e. icm-petersbathroom-2-s2-1-512.icp.net
Nope, my routers have another naming convention, bathroom is for example, r29a.. --Peter - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
