Router naming conventions
I am working on a project at the University of Wisconsin that is looking into inferring internet path characteristics from the dns names of routers.
What features do you use when naming a router interface?
Ie. setting PTR for DNS reverse lookup for routers.
Geographic info (CLLI, Airport code)
Media type (xe, gi, ae, ...)
OS label for interface (ge-0-0-1)
Functional router name (cr1, ...)
vlan id
Other:
Please describe the naming convention that you use for your routers/interfaces in detail, giving individual fields and example values for fields if applicable. If you have a system that uses a "base name" for the router and "interface names" for attached interfaces please note this
Ordering and examples of features above including "other".
Your answer
Do you use a tool to automate setting a hostname, or is it done by hand?
Automated
By Hand
Clear selection
If your network uses a derived string, please describe the variables and concatenation logic involved
Your answer
If no formal pattern or config-based PTR generation logic is used, what system or approach is used?
Your answer
What networks have you been involved in naming using the aforementioned convention?
Not required but appreciated.
Your answer
Is there anything else I should know about how you name your routers?
Thanks!
