We're looking for ideas to improve our current naming convention for network devices.
For an access point, it currently consists of: <buildingName>-<floornumber>-ap<arbitrarynumber> e.g. burnside-1-ap24 For controllers, we use: wireless-<its role>-wmc e.g. wireless-local1-wmc (wmc = wireless mobility controller) For access points, we're thinking of adding location info instead of the arbitrary number, so something like: burnside-1-ap101a where 101a is the first AP in room 101 (101b would be the second AP, etc.) Switches: burnside-sw1, burnside-sw2 UPS's: burnside-ups-1, burnside-ups2-1 PoE midspans: burnside-poe-1, burnside-poe2-1 What do other organizations use for naming conventions for their network devices? Thanks.
