As title states, how do you name your networking devices?
Currently we do it differently depending on type of equipment.
rtr-1.street.city.technology.dns-suffix - this would be a typical CPE name.
fw-1.customer.dns-suffix - a firewall could be placed anywhere :/.
nex-1.datacenter-room.dc-location.dns-suffix ( could be a datacenter switch where customers or shared services is connected )
My biggest problem is that we have been part of a company merge 6 smaller ones, getting into 1 big. And still this day a few years later, we still use different naming conventions. Seems like a subject everybody is afraid to talk about.
