generate-circuit-id

This insanely simple, unintentionally patriotic script generates a circuit ID based on input variables.

Circuit IDs are composed of the following variables:

• Service Type (IP Transit, MPLS, SD-WAN)
• Location Identifier
  • Combination of country (USA, in my case)
  • US Region ID (From list from the US Census Bureau)
  • US Division ID (From the same list)
  • US State FIPS Code (From the same list)
• Customer ID
  • Should be something reusable that maps to the customer across all systems. In our case, the ConnectWise Company RecID
• Service ID
  • Randomly generated 4 digit number

This is pretty tailored to our environment and standards, but who knows, perhaps it would be useful to some other souls out there.
