Sites

Sites are an abstract construction to model information that is shared across all services deployed at one physical location. They only contain information relevant to the services that rely on it. As a result, external BSS and OSS systems are still in place for other accounting and bookkeeping purposes. However, these lie outside the scope of GAP.

Modelling and attributes

A Site object contains the following attributes:

Attribute name	Attribute type	Description
site_name	str	The name of the site, that will dictate part of the FQDN of routers that are hosted at this site. For example: router.X.Y.geant.net, where X denotes the name of the site.
site_city	str	The city at which the site is located.
site_country	str	The country in which the site is located.
site_country_code	str	The code of the corresponding country. This is also used for the FQDN, following the example for the site name, the country code goes in the Y position.
site_latitude	LatitudeCoordinate	The latitude of the site, used for SNMP.
site_longitude	LongitudeCoordinate	The longitude of the site, again for SNMP.
site_internal_id	int	The internal ID used within GÉANT for a site.
