Actually, we dont name our routers and switches here. I find it much easier to tell where something is based on its IP. The 3rd octet tells me of the subnet, and the 4th tells me what the device actually is. I'd imagine that you'd find both schools of thought. Not quite sure what constitutes a "Large" network. We're a fairly small college, only about 18 routers, 300 switches, and another 250+ wireless access points.
But for those who do use names, yes, it should definitely be an option.

Feature Request: Display hostnames instead of IP addresses in the exporters list. Most of us with large networks probably find it easier to identify our routers and switches by name than by number.
