Look at https://netbox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/data-model/circuits/ for some terminology that might help in your search. On Thu, Oct 26, 2017 at 10:08 AM, Craig <cvuljanic@gmail.com> wrote:
I am hoping someone could help me out with some suggestions for any software that is available, for individuals that are doing physical layer wiring in a data center?
The idea is the technician is performing the fiber runs from say RACK 111 router AAA port 1/1/1 to RACK 222 router BBB port 1/1/1
The fiber is connected to a LIU in the TOP of the rack, and then will require various cross connects to get to the other rack. If the various racks and LIU's are pre-populated into the software, and then a standard for the fiber labels is also installed ahead of time into the software tool.
The technician has a tablet or laptop to enter the data, and then it will print out a cable label based on the info entered into the tool. The back-end data base is updated for each fiber so the complete path is known. This way its a one step process.
Maybe my description of this is readily available or have other companies developed a custom software tool to achieve this?
Appreciate any feedback.
