How you choose to employ sites when modeling your network may vary depending on the nature of your organization, but generally a site will equate to a building or campus. For example, a chain of banks might create a site to represent each of its branches, a site for its corporate headquarters, and two additional sites for its presence in two colocation facilities.
|
||||
|
||||
Each site must be assigned a unique name and may optionally be assigned to a region and/or tenant. The following operational statuses are available:
|
||||
## Fields
|
||||
|
||||
* Planned
|
||||
* Staging
|
||||
* Active
|
||||
* Decommissioning
|
||||
* Retired
|
||||
### Name
|
||||
|
||||
The site model also provides a facility ID field which can be used to annotate a facility ID (such as a datacenter name) associated with the site. Each site may also have an autonomous system (AS) number and time zone associated with it. (Time zones are provided by the [pytz](https://pypi.org/project/pytz/) package.)
|
||||
The site's unique name.
|
||||
|
||||
The site model also includes several fields for storing contact and address information as well as geolocation data (GPS coordinates).
|
||||

||||
A unique URL-friendly identifier. (This value can be used for filtering.)

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Time Zone

||||
|
||||
The site's local time zone. (Time zones are provided by the [pytz](https://pypi.org/project/pytz/) package.)

|
||||
### Shipping Address
