What are the ways to build device names?

Question

Computer networks

We have geographically separated servers, switches, ap and other pieces of iron. All this good belongs to different firms, but is serviced in one snout.
Recommend a template for constructing the name of the pieces of iron. So that you don't have to redo everything. I would like a complete template with the ability to painlessly increase the number, type, city, etc. of variables.
Example for clarity vpn(device).durdom(organization).neru(city).ru(country)____main domain.
It would be desirable to hear about reefs and other subtleties of this or that approach.

Answer 1

It's more convenient here, if we work with companies, it's easier by companies, and then sort by locations. If we work by city, then the root is the city, if we work by country, the root is the country.
Probably more convenient for firms vpn1.room101.lenina15.neryungri.ru.gazprom. Well, then get statistics from it via snmp and see who, where and the phone in info. And in the database and in the dns and everywhere it will be easy.
Well, depending on how much equipment is in total, if in the region of 1000-10000, then you should not bother so much, a type.location.company is enough

Answer 2

You can use this option
<object code>-<device type>-<subtype>-<number>
At the same time, under the object code is an alphanumeric abbreviation, which is used even in communication (for many companies this can be a client code in the database, or some other index from, for example, the application system
device type - server, cisco, etc. subtype - destination - vpn, mail, etc.
The object code can be encrypted taking into account the countries of cities and organizations if you want
, or you can have a sign of equipment locations and drag the index from there.
