Naming network elements

[perpaal]

Hi

Anybody know a good source on how to name network elements?

Like provider edge, aggregation switch, core router etc etc.

Thanks

this kind of naming depends on the network design you have. You can check a Cisco network design book.

These may help. They focus on Campus design:

Need to name units in the core, distribution and edge, but do not know the correct naming system...
