Nick, I do not believe there is a written standard for naming gear ( or at least I have never seen one) Most naming scheme's are usually something arbitrary RAS gave a pretty good tutorial on traceroutes once, specifically he covered the topic of interpreting DNS in a traceroute. I know we are not talking about traceroutes or DNS here but hopefully this can give you a little insight into naming your equipment. http://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog45/presentations/Sunday/RAS_traceroute_N45.pdf On Jan 25, 2011, at 3:50 PM, Nick Olsen wrote:
