Infrastructure - Simplified Final Design

Date: 2025-10-23 Scope: Only cameras track IDF relationships

---

Simplified Schema

IDFs (Intermediate Distribution Frames)

idfs:
  - idfid INT(11) PK
  - idfname VARCHAR(100)
  - description VARCHAR(255)
  - maptop, mapleft INT(11)
  - isactive BIT(1)

Standalone - Just a reference table for camera locations

Cameras (Only device type with IDF relationship)

cameras:
  - cameraid INT(11) PK
  - modelid INT(11) → models → vendors
  - idfid INT(11) → idfs.idfid  (already exists!)
  - serialnumber VARCHAR(100)
  - macaddress VARCHAR(17)  (already exists!)
  - ipaddress VARCHAR(45)
  - description VARCHAR(255)
  - maptop, mapleft INT(11)
  - isactive BIT(1)

Switches (No IDF)

switches:
  - switchid INT(11) PK
  - modelid INT(11) → models → vendors
  - serialnumber VARCHAR(100)
  - ipaddress VARCHAR(45)
  - description VARCHAR(255)
  - maptop, mapleft INT(11)
  - isactive BIT(1)

Servers (No IDF)

servers:
  - serverid INT(11) PK
  - modelid INT(11) → models → vendors
  - serialnumber VARCHAR(100)
  - ipaddress VARCHAR(45)
  - description VARCHAR(255)
  - maptop, mapleft INT(11)
  - isactive BIT(1)

---

Migration Needed

Just run: add_infrastructure_vendor_model_support.sql

This adds modelid to servers/switches/cameras (if not already present).

No additional migrations needed! Cameras already have idfid and macaddress.

---

Edit Pages - Which Are Unique?

Device	Unique Fields	Needs Custom Page?
IDF	idfname (no model/vendor)	YES - different structure
Camera	idfid dropdown, macaddress	YES - has IDF + MAC
Server	Standard fields only	NO - same as switch
Switch	Standard fields only	NO - same as server

Optimization: Combine Server/Switch Edit

Since servers and switches have identical fields, we can use:

• 1 generic edit page for servers + switches
• 1 custom edit page for cameras (has IDF + MAC)
• 1 custom edit page for IDFs (no model/vendor)

---

Page Architecture (5 Files Total!)

network_devices.asp                           → Unified list with tabs
network_device_detail_idf.asp?id=5           → IDF detail/edit (no model)
network_device_detail_generic.asp?type=server&id=3  → Server/Switch edit
network_device_detail_camera.asp?id=1        → Camera edit (IDF + MAC)
add_network_device.asp?type=server           → Add form with type selector
save_network_device.asp                       → Universal save

Wait, that's 6 files. Can we simplify more?

Actually, let's use 4 files by combining add into detail:

network_devices.asp                     → List with tabs
device_idf.asp?id=5                    → IDF add/edit
device_generic.asp?type=server&id=3    → Server/Switch add/edit
device_camera.asp?id=1                 → Camera add/edit (IDF + MAC)

Each detail page handles both add (id=0) and edit (id>0).

---

File 1: network_devices.asp (List)

Features

• Tabs: All | IDFs | Servers | Switches | Cameras
• Unified table showing all devices
• Click device → route to appropriate detail page

Routing

Select Case rs("device_type")
    Case "IDF"
        detailUrl = "device_idf.asp?id=" & rs("device_id")
    Case "Server"
        detailUrl = "device_generic.asp?type=server&id=" & rs("device_id")
    Case "Switch"
        detailUrl = "device_generic.asp?type=switch&id=" & rs("device_id")
    Case "Camera"
        detailUrl = "device_camera.asp?id=" & rs("device_id")
End Select

---

File 2: device_idf.asp (IDF Add/Edit)

Fields

• idfname (text input, required)
• description (textarea)
• maptop, mapleft (optional coordinates)

No dropdowns

IDFs are just locations with names. No model, no vendor, no parent.

Save endpoint

Posts to save_network_device.asp with type=idf

---

File 3: device_generic.asp (Server/Switch Add/Edit)

Type-aware

Uses ?type=server or ?type=switch parameter

Fields (Same for both!)

• Model dropdown (modelid → shows vendor + model)
• Serial number (text)
• IP address (text, validated)
• Description (textarea)
• maptop, mapleft (optional coordinates)

Dynamic labels

Dim deviceType, displayName
deviceType = Request.QueryString("type")

If deviceType = "server" Then
    displayName = "Server"
ElseIf deviceType = "switch" Then
    displayName = "Switch"
Else
    Response.Redirect("network_devices.asp")
End If
%>

<h2><%If deviceId = 0 Then Response.Write("Add") Else Response.Write("Edit")%> <%=displayName%></h2>

Save endpoint

Posts to save_network_device.asp with type=server or type=switch

---

File 4: device_camera.asp (Camera Add/Edit)

Fields (Camera-specific!)

• Model dropdown (modelid → shows vendor + model)
• IDF dropdown (idfid → required!)
• Serial number (text)
• MAC address (text, pattern validation)
• IP address (text, validated)
• Description (textarea)
• maptop, mapleft (optional coordinates)

IDF Dropdown

<div class="form-group">
    <label>IDF Location <span class="text-danger">*</span></label>
    <select name="idfid" required class="form-control">
        <option value="">-- Select IDF --</option>
        <%
        strSQL = "SELECT idfid, idfname FROM idfs WHERE isactive = 1 ORDER BY idfname"
        Set rsIDFs = objConn.Execute(strSQL)
        Do While Not rsIDFs.EOF
        %>
            <option value="<%=rsIDFs("idfid")%>"
                    <%If Not IsNull(rs("idfid")) And rs("idfid") = rsIDFs("idfid") Then Response.Write("selected")%>>
                <%=Server.HTMLEncode(rsIDFs("idfname"))%>
            </option>
        <%
            rsIDFs.MoveNext
        Loop
        %>
    </select>
    <small class="form-text text-muted">
        Which IDF does this camera connect to?
    </small>
</div>

MAC Address Field

<div class="form-group">
    <label>MAC Address</label>
    <input type="text" name="macaddress" class="form-control"
           pattern="^([0-9A-Fa-f]{2}[:-]){5}([0-9A-Fa-f]{2})$"
           placeholder="00:11:22:33:44:55">
</div>

Save endpoint

Posts to save_network_device.asp with type=camera

---

File 5: save_network_device.asp (Universal Save)

Routes by type parameter

<%
Dim deviceType, deviceId
deviceType = Request.Form("type")
deviceId = GetSafeInteger("FORM", "id", 0, 0, 999999)

Select Case deviceType
    Case "idf"
        tableName = "idfs"
        idField = "idfid"
        ' Fields: idfname, description, maptop, mapleft
        ' No modelid!

    Case "server"
        tableName = "servers"
        idField = "serverid"
        ' Fields: modelid, serialnumber, ipaddress, description, maptop, mapleft
        ' No idfid!

    Case "switch"
        tableName = "switches"
        idField = "switchid"
        ' Fields: modelid, serialnumber, ipaddress, description, maptop, mapleft
        ' No idfid!

    Case "camera"
        tableName = "cameras"
        idField = "cameraid"
        ' Fields: modelid, idfid, serialnumber, macaddress, ipaddress, description, maptop, mapleft
        ' Has idfid and macaddress!
End Select

' Build INSERT or UPDATE query based on deviceId
If deviceId = 0 Then
    ' INSERT logic...
Else
    ' UPDATE logic...
End If
%>

Add Flow (From network_devices.asp)

"Add Device" Button

Shows modal or redirects to selection page:

[Add IDF]     → device_idf.asp?id=0
[Add Server]  → device_generic.asp?type=server&id=0
[Add Switch]  → device_generic.asp?type=switch&id=0
[Add Camera]  → device_camera.asp?id=0

Or use the existing approach with type selector in add_network_device.asp.

Migration Script

Just run: /home/camp/projects/windows/shopdb/sql/add_infrastructure_vendor_model_support.sql

What it does:

• Adds modelid to servers/switches/cameras (if not already present)
• Creates foreign keys to models table
• Creates vw_network_devices view

What we DON'T need:

• Add idfid to switches (not tracking)
• Add idfid to servers (not tracking)
• Cameras already have idfid and macaddress

---

Ready to Build!

Total: 5 ASP files Estimated Time: 8-12 hours Complexity: Medium (simpler than original plan!)

Next step: Run migration, then create the 5 files.
