This insanely simple, unintentionally patriotic script generates a circuit ID based on input variables.
Circuit IDs are composed of the following variables:
- Service Type (IP Transit, MPLS, SD-WAN)
- Location Identifier
- Combination of country (USA, in my case)
- US Region ID (From list from the US Census Bureau)
- US Division ID (From the same list)
- US State FIPS Code (From the same list)
- Customer ID
- Should be something reusable that maps to the customer across all systems. In our case, the ConnectWise Company RecID
- Service ID
- Randomly generated 4 digit number
This is pretty tailored to our environment and standards, but who knows, perhaps it would be useful to some other souls out there.
