Hello,
Looking for FREE Riverbed Visio Stencils. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Sendi,
The Riverbed Visio on RouterFreak are free. You are welcome to download. Simply click on the link below the RiverBed logo. Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks for posting these. It’s nice to find someone who isn’t out to make a buck like some companies.
This is probably and old post, but I try anyway. I’m looking for some preferably generic shapes for KVM switches, KVM extenders and VGA extenders for use in network diagrams (not rack).
Thanks Hallvor,
I don’t believe I have any generic stencils for just kvm. If I find some I will update the Visio post with them. For now, what I usually do for KVM equipment is just use a generic Cyclades stencil or a generic Cisco stencil. I hope this helps. Thanks for the comment!
I’m looking for free stencils for St. Bernard and Cymphonix products. Any ideas?
Did you ever find a St.Bernard stencil? I’m still pounding the pavement for one.
No, I never did. I’ll try to make my own and if I do I’ll post back here.
Nice collection. I wanted to let you know that Sourcefire has their stencils available at https://support.sourcefire.com/Sourcefire_3D_System.vss

I am looking for linksys stencils
Joe
When I open that link for Riverbed Stencils,nothing is there
Ivan, If you go to this link http://www.routerfreak.com/visio-files/ and click on the riverbed link – http://www.routerfreak.com/images/NetworkingFiles/Riverbed.vss — this will open the stencil file directly and then save the file.
Pls help. I followed Joe’s instructions, but I end up with a blank diagram, no stencils. I’ve opened from the web page, and I’ve saved the file – both options give the same result.
Sorry – got it to work.
I’m looking for APC ups and shelf stencils

Hi Sam, thanks for the comment!
Sure, if there is anything that you would like to see added here, send it to joe [@] routerfreak.com. I do my best to keep up with the requests, so be patient if it takes a day or two.
Thanks!
Joe

Bere,
Thanks for letting me know. Which stencil is it? One of the files maybe corrupt. Also which version of Visio are you trying to use?
Thanks
Joe

Hi,

Fantastic! Great links thanks!
Humm why is there a very long list of Cisco stuff but nothing for the Catalisyst 2948G …
The visio icons I have up on the site are the generic icon, (hocky puck). The product specific icons can freely downloadable from the Cisco website. Unfortunately Cisco has thousands of product icons in multiple visio stencils. I once had them all zippe up on the site but the file was like 50meg. Its was hug. I would encourage you to visit Cisco website to download exactly what your looking for. You can find them here: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/prod_visio_icon_list.html
Thanks for the reply Joe!
unfortunately I have been on Cisco’s URL and no 2948G stencil
:~(
You should open the spreadsheet with the index http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/assets/visio/product_visio_icon0900aecd800940d9.xls
search for the model number your interested in (in your case the 2948) and it should show you which collection it’s in.
For the 2948G it’s in the Switches Catalyst 2900 http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/assets/visio/product_visio_icon0900aecd800f5997.zip
I clicked, subscribed, etc., but was never able to download any of the stencils. The mfr links just kept bringing me back to the sign-up page. What’s up with the broken links?
When you subscribe you will be taken to a download page where you can download every visio file, search for the files you want, etc.
Also, you will be sent an email that will include your link to download the file you need.
I hope this helps!
Thanks for these Joe!

Found links to stencils for the different Barracuda Networks devices. they can be downloaded from the bottom of the page here: http://www.barracudanetworks.com/ns/support/documentation.php
Great job on the blog and stencil list.
Also, the Entire line of Cisco Stencils can be downloaded directly from Cisco at this address: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/prod_cat_visios.html
I am unzipping these stencils with 7zip and the files don’t have an extension and I can’t open them up as shapes in visio 2007. Is there a step that I am missing?
When you click on the Visio stencil you want it will take you to a download page. Download the file to your desktop then unzip them. Let me know if you still have problems.

Sorry Hassan we dont have any alcatel stencils.
Jose Vilson! Man where can I get me some cisco Iron port stensils???
Steve!!
Both Cisco and Iron Port are some of our tops downloads. From the main download page for visio stencils.. in the middle of the page you will see a section called “Popular Downloads” . Click on either Iron Port or Cisco to download their respective icon sets. You will need to login as a member to download the files. But that just means you get more email love from RouterFreak.com which of course is a great thing!!
Let me know if you still need help
Take care
Joe
Hi.. Any Network-Box Firewall stencil?

Anyone know where to find d-link stencils?
The D-Link websites have stencils for the current models, but switches only.
If you like, I can ZIP the collection I have, and mail them to you.
I can’t seem to find any visio stencils anywhere on d-link’s website. I’d love it if you could send me what you have, or post a link to where you found them. psherwood at yorkton dot ca
Let me know how I can send them to you
Hassan
please email them to psherwood at yorkton dot ca. Thanks, I really appreciate it.
If you guys want them posted to the stencil area send them to me and I’ll get them posted!
thanks
Dear Peter,
I am sending you a zipped file directly and to Joe as well so that he can post them in the stencils section for others.
Hassan
Hi Peter, did you find the d-link stencils? If yes, can you help us?

Thanks
Have you found the power-1 shape?.
Thanks.
Please i need visio stencils to show faceplates and gangboxes in network topology . where can i find such stencils
Hi Barram,
By faceplates do you mean for wall jacks? My first suggestion would be to ask the vendor where you purchased the wall jacks, they may have something like that. I’m not sure what a gangbox is, I’ve never heard that term before.
Another solution is to look for stencils from Anixter (sorry we dont have them) or you can check out Netzoom. Netzoom makes many different types of hard to find stencils for visio.
Finally you could always make do by using another object, small rectangular object, to represent a wall jack.
I hope this helps
