Whack it up on your own. Routers, Switches: Famous Auto Race Tracks (taledaga, daytona, etc.) Bridges: Famous Bridges, of course (brooklyn, goldengate, london) Windoze Servers: Deserts (sahara, arizona) Linux Servers: Desserts (banannasplit, parfait) If you really want a boring name standard: Boring is good when you have a pile of equipment and would like to know something useful about it at a glance. Admin: "Arizona is unreachable because taledaga borked." User: "How come I can't log into the database?" Admin: "I just told you the database server is unreachable." Me has no time for admins of this ilk. Routers, Switches: rtr-location, sw-location Bridges: br-location Name locations for closets, buildings, or cities (depending on what your topology is). -- Chad Walstrom <chewie at wookimus.net> http://www.wookimus.net/ assert(expired(knowledge)); /* core dump */ _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
