Pattern to named objects

Hello, Is there any pattern to the names of objects suggested by F5 or for you that can be followed and thus have a default on our customers? For example: Virtual Server: http_www_xpto_com Pool: ...
application delivery
design
LTM

I'd agree with shaggy that its good practise to have the object type in the name although I prefer to prefix it rather than suffix it.

 

I prefer to use service/application names rather than domain names.

 

In large environments you should probably consider Administrative Partitions to make things more manageable and hopefully minimise issues when the inevitable human errors occur.

 

Lastly, if you use the CLI then you'll appreciate that shorter labels are better than long.
