1. A method for network device name management, the method comprising:
at a cloud server, determining a device name of a network device to be deployed at a customer site based on site survey result information of the customer site;
at the cloud server, receiving network device information of the network device after the network device is deployed at the customer site;
at the cloud server, associating the device name of the network device with the network device information of the network device; and
at the cloud server, storing general physical location information that includes floor information, specific physical location information that includes two sets of coordinate information of different types, a serial number of the network device, device type information of the network device, a media access control (MAC) address of the network device, device topology information for the network device that indicates connectivity information of the network device, and the device name of the network device in an entry of a deployment database by expanding a corresponding entry of a device to be deployed database to include installed location information of the network device deployed at the customer site, which comprises the specific physical location information that includes the two sets of coordinate information of different types, and device specific information of the network device deployed at the customer site, which comprises the serial number of the network device and the MAC address of the network device.
