Hi Guys n Gals, not quite sure where to put this, so thought I'd drop it in here.
I'm currently in the middle of an Audit\Mapping\Renaming exercise of our cisco kit and as a part of that process I need to both apply an asset and information label.
The asset tag isn’t so vital as it doesn’t matter where these go. However we need to be able to see the info label, now the problem we have on some of our sites (around 90 sites) it is not possible to get to the back of the devices without physically removing them from the rack\shelf\cabinet etc. so it's not always possible to put labels on the back.
So does anyone know of any labels that can be attached to cisco devices that are either easily applied to the front or in some kind of slip case that can be placed on them?
(I'm think along the lines of HP servers with slide out tags if you know what I mean lol)
Bit of a long shot but thought I'd ask in here, as well as trawl the net for them
cheers

if I say something that can be taken one of two ways and one of them offends, I usually mean the other one :-)

We just use a label maker. Seems to do the job nicely.An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made. -

with 1/4" tapes .. you can type all the info about the device and stick it to the front of your devices <it looks great> and it has all the details "you may have to reduce the font size"
or you can place it around cables. -

We have two electronic labelers like the one listed above. Works great for labeling everything.A+/N+/S+/L+/Svr+

What everybody else said. Originally we had the old school dymo label gun thingy but thankfully we've got a proper label printer now. -

And a final quick reminder to everyone, if you're servers/network devices are located in a co-location facility, best practice would say you don't put any identifiable markers on them that would allow someone walking by to identify your company or the IP ranges in use, etc. Usually the name of the device is all I affix to the outside in situations like that.
