@DarrenOC that naming convention looks awfully similar to the one I've been using for the last 25 years 😈. It works worldwide though I add one extra letter: Country code | site code | technology | device type | number i.e. UKBNES1 - United Kingdom, Brighton, Ethernet, Switch, 1 For a fibre switch replace E with F, for Token-Ring we used a T, however ES is replaced entirely with FW for corporate firewalls and PI for public internet ones as we aren't entirely consistent and we've never had a firewall that isn't Ethernet! Ultimately if everyone can find the device from the name then who cares what format you use! 🙂
