Introduction

We've all been here: all those acronyms, variable names and definitions may be overwhelming. 

These guidelines help users to discover the power of nGeniusONE and explore its full potential.

 

Solution

Captitals

Use as much as possible UPPER CASE for naming appliactions,communities, services ... .  Don't use spaces; replace them with underscore '_" or hyphen "-". 

 

Meaningfull names

Use meaingfull names for naming appliactions,communities, services ... .

Don't use space; replace with underscore '_" or hyphen "-". 

 

Prefixes

The use of prefix will clarify which varable is used on reports.  It allows for easy filtering and alphabetic ordening of longer lists.

Module Service Configuration

  • as_ = Application Service
  • ns_ = Network Service
  •  

Module Global Settings

  • ls_ = Location Key of type Site
  • lv_ = Location Key of type VLAN
  • lr_ = Location Key of type VRF
  • cc_ = Client Community
  • sc_ = Server Community
  • tc_ = Telephony Community
  • ap_ = Application
  • ag_ = Application Group

 

Policies

In most cases, people from different teams will be involved during the configuration and updating of nGeniusONE.

Even in small teams, it is very important to create a set of rules, guidelines or policies on how to create applications, services etc.

It will also prevent duplicate configurations that only take resources from nGeniusONE without adding more visibility.
