RE: Labeling and naming

I'll use your reply as a template:

Device naming convention:

   <2 letters of the state/province abbreviation>
   <3 letters of city code>
   <3 letters of POP location>
  <unless there is only one POP in the city, then this field is blank>
   <1 letter describing device type>
  a = RAS Server/Access device (including remote console devices)
  s = Switch
  r = Router
   <2 letter device abbreviation>
  12 = Cisco 12000 Series
  75 = Cisco 7500 Series
  50 = Cisco Catalyst 5000 Series
  65 = Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series
  p3 = Lucent PM3
  58 = Cisco AS5800
  etc..
   <2 digit device sequence identifier>
   <x letter/digit interface ID/number>

   Examples:

  ON-TOR-FRN-R12-01-POS11-2
  Ontario, Toronto, Front St. Cisco 12000, #1, POS, slot 11, port 2
  
  BC-VAN-HBR-R75-04-A9-0-1
  British Columbia, Vancouver, Harbour Center, Cisco 7500 Series, #4,
ATM, linecard 9, slot 0, interface 1

  AB-CAL-A53-01-32
  Alberta, Calgary, Cisco AS5300, #1, dialup port 32

  NOTE: DNS for the devices themselves (for telnet, ssh, snmp, etc)
are identicle to the above, except the interface information is not
included.

  ie: ON-TOR-FRN-R12-09.LOOK.CA
