Hi We don't actually have room numbers in our names because there's often renovation work which might change the numerotation of the rooms. We use the id of the building, closet number+ Letter for purpose + sequential number. We use the same recipe for cameras, switches and the like changing the 2nd to last letter based on type of device.

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.
