Port Description Parsing

Observium will recognise the usage of ports as customer ports, transit, etc for display purposes using a standardised interface description format.

Cust: Example Customer [10Mbit] (T1 Telco Y CCID129031) {EXAMP0001}

The identifier before the colon defines the type of service, recognised types are :

Identifier	Description
Cust	Customer
Transit	Transit link
Peering	Peering link
Core	Infrastructure link (non-customer)
Server	Server link (non-customer)

Additional information can be added using different bracket types:

• () contains a note
• {} contains your circuit id
• [] contains the service type or speed

Cust: Example Customer [10Mbit] (T1 Telco Y CCID129031) {EXAMP0001}

Transit: Example Provider (AS65000)

Core: core.router01 FastEthernet0/0 (Telco X CCID023141)

Peering: Peering Exchange
