Even if you had an IP address to home in on, customers upgrade their lines,
move sites, etc. We use RDD and have locally defined that the Cisco
"descr" field has a customer number and a customer name. We found that
even customer name changes as companies get bought and sold (we get about
1-2 requests per month to change the company name of a customer).
By using a fixed customer number in the description, we can change the IP
or the customer name or whatever, move them to a different router and RDD
picks up who they are. Required some local code to get it done, but once
done, you can forget about the cisco reboots.
