On my last network I named all the routers after simpsons characters. On 3/13/10 10:47 AM, Paul Stewart wrote:
Hi Folks... With many changes going on this year in our network, I figured it's a good time to revisit our naming conventions used in our networks. Today, we use the following example: Core1-rtr-to-ge1-1-1-vl20.nexicom.net Core box #1, rtr=router, to=location, ge1-1-1=interface, vl20=vlan etc etc.... Going forward, I'd like to examine a better method to identify the devices.... does anyone have published standards on what they use or that of other networks and maybe even why they chose those methods? The core of the network is fairly easy for us to look at different changes where you have interfaces, subinterfaces, locations etc. to deal with. But what do folks do for "aggregation devices" such as dial-up shelves, BAS devices etc? Finally, we have a fair amount of gear (that we own) at customer premises that act as either a managed device or a demarcation point .... how to you name those today? Open ended questions obviously - looking for many ideas. ;) Paul ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and contains confidential and/or privileged material.
