I use a PTouch labeler for just about everything.

In some machines we have two NICs, so I label each wire with the
appropriate NIC slot of the machine. I don't do the keyboard and the
mouse for our KVMs, however I do label the video plug for it. On the
actual box we label it with name/domain since we have multiple domains
here.

And definitely label at least the front of your router with it's name
and IP/s.

Subject: [THIN] Way OT: Rack Equipment Labelling

Bit of a random subject, i know, but i've just started planning on doing
th=3D
is as its one of my pet peeves about the setup here!

Its only a small getup, one rack filled with a 4/5 servers, couple of
route=3D
rs, switches, etc none of which is currently labelled, save for the
compute=3D
rs themselves and theres about a dozen coloured network leads (not
specific=3D
ally labelled, but i've worked out what colours service what)..
So what i want to know is, do you label everything, plug sockets,
network l=3D
eads, routers, etc? If not what and how?
