Labelling a C9300

[ritchieb]

Hi,

I've recently installed some C9300 switches and there's no space on the front to print a label for a hostname for identification going forward.

I cant be the first person to ever have had this problem, I've done searches online for potential solutions but coming up blank, I've got some ideas on ways I could achieve, just baffled as to how something hasn't already been produced for such a dilemma.

Does anyone have any product suggests to help with this???

Have a look at THIS 3D printed Label Plate.  

This design uses the USB port to "anchor" the label plate.

Hi,

I saw those in my searches, ok for C9300 and if you have a 3D printer!

The issue isn't only with the C9300's - there's a number of devices that have same issue so this doesn't really work for me.

we use a label printer with a 6 mm. tape and cut off all white space
if the switch's name is not too long it will fit vertically on the left and right side

i did the same thing, putting the label veritcally on the right side, since right side would have the TenGig fiber ports less bunching of the wires on that side. Same use scissors to trim excess white so its flush with the edge. i used brady label Font 14 Bold 13char max in CAPS or Font 9 Bold 19char max in CAP.  you could also put the label on the "ears" mounting bracket and / or on the rack frame next to the RU " # " if there's space. just have to be consistent if someone moves something to remember to remove the label as well
