Hostname and markings

[lethalcelina]

Im guessing there is no best practice for how you should name and mark your network devices. My company for example give switches names like s- for switch then short address and the rack name and -2 if there is more then one in the same rack. Now lets take a C9200 with uplink module, where I am supposed to put the dymo tag?

What structure do you use and do you mark and if how do you mark your equipment?

How do Cisco do themself? Only use serial number and unmarked switches?

 - In business terms there is no unique answer for that question ; it depends on why you want to use a label and it's purpose ; the serial number is not a 'marking' but a property of the device.
