Hi All 

 

I am about to reset my network at home and upgrade some gear, i am trying to thing of a theme to name my devices with aside from the boring name they get by dafult and after some ideas.

If anyone has any good suggestions, at the moment most are named after United States military nuclear incident terminology as listed below.

I use the following naming scheme for my home setup:

01FW[XX] = firewall

02SRV[XX] = server

03SW[XX] = switch

04AP[XX] = access point

 

I don't have that many devices so keeping it short. You could state their functions as well, like 2 DNS servers could be 02SRVDNS01 and 02SRVDNS02.

If you're into aviation, you could do aircraft names like Raptor, Lightning, FightingFalcon, Typhoon,...

Here at home i name devices like network shares and IOT devices after big scientists, so I had Newton, Archimedes and Curie. Maybe its something you like maybe you need to adjust them to your area of interest

back before we settled on a standardized naming convention for machines at work, I used to enjoy naming laptops after battleships from different fleets like Canada, US, UK, Australia, etc.

 

lots to pick from as well
