How to request missing Visio stencils?

gary.t.giesen — Thu, 21 Mar 2019 02:33:47 GMT

There are several Visio stencils that are missing from the library that I need. They're important to me (and I imagine others want them too) as I need to do rack elevation diagrams. I hate to open a TAC case on them but not sure what else to do. Any thoughts?

The stencils I require are:

ASA5510 (Rear view - the side with the interfaces)

ME-C6524GT-8S (Rear view - the side with the power supplies) - 24 Ethernet - 10/100/1000 interfaces + 8 Gigabit Ethernet SFP uplinks, 1 fan tray

PWR-400W-AC - 400W AC power supply for the Cisco ME 6524

PWR-400W-DC - 400W DC power supply for the Cisco ME 6524

ME-C3750-24TE-M (Rear View - the side with the power supplies) - Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro

PWR-ME3750-AC - Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Switch Primary AC power supply

PWR-ME3750-DC - Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Switch Primary AC power supply

Cheers

Your request for Visio images of these specific Cisco har

dware products will be forwarded to the individual product owners requesting they sponsor

creation of Visio images.

Beverly,

Thanks for the prompt response. I know this will be a difficult question to answer, but do you have any idea how long this process typically takes? Weeks? Months? Years? Also, is the request likely to be granted or is there a great deal of justification that must be done internally at Cisco to get Visio stencils created?

Gary,

Unfortunately I can not guarantee exactly how long it will take to create all of these Visio images. We are searching for the product owners of each to request they sponsor creation of the Visio. We will do our best to have them posted within a months time.

Hello Beverly,

Any update on the stencils for the 6524 ME series switches? I am actually in need of the ME-C6524GS-8S.

Thank you,

Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,

My company handles Cisco's Visio stencil production. The C6524GS-8S is on the Switches-ME Series stencil posted at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/prod_cat_visios.html. It's been there since April 13 of this year so if you haven't recently downloaded that stencil, please do so and you should find it there. If not, please let me know at brettn@visimation.com so I can troubleshoot the problem, but I just checked it to verify.

Regards,

Brett,

I found the stencils very useful. I needed, in particular, the 3750x and found it here:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/assets/visio/product_visio_icon0900aecd8009b2de.zip.

It includes excellent rear views, with connetion points on the Ethernet and stacking ports. It also shows only one power supply and a blank cover on the space where the second one would go.

I was hoping to find a redundant power supply in the stencil that I could snap in on the switch, but there is none. Is it available?

Thanks,

Bruce

Bruce,

Thank you for your positive responses after finding the Cisco product shape you were looking for. I will advise our Visio production staff (Bret) of you request so an internal sponsor can be advised of your request and approve creation of this shape.

Hello,

I've found pretty much everything I was looking for so far, but i'm missing those: Catalyst 4500 Series module WS-X4612-SFP-E, WLC-5508 Wireless Controller, Aironet Access point 1040, 1130, 1260, and Catalyst 3560 WS-C3560-12-PC-S.

Is there a way for me to get access to those Visio stencils?

Thanks in advance,

Philip

Hi Bruce,

I just wanted you to know that your request is being worked on. We've had a high volume of Visiio production requests at Cisco the past several months so our delivery time is longer than I'd like so I apologize for that. I expect the Catalyst 3750x shapes done within the next two weeks. Feel free to contact me directly brettn@visimation.com if you have any specific input.

Regards,

Brett

Re: How to request missing Visio stencils?

Brett Newman — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 18:31:08 GMT

Hi Philip,

We are actually just about done with a set of additional Wireless Visio shapes. This includes the 1040, 1260, 1140, and WLC 5508. We did not have the 1130 on our list but we can add that as well. These will be available shortly.

I will approach the product groups about the 3560-12-PC-S and WS-X4612-SFP-E.

Hey Brett,

Just wanted to say thanks for your great participation here! I'm just

curious if there is an actual "formal" method for requesting new

Visio stencils or are you OK with just posting up our requests here?

Cheers! And thanks again.

Rob

Hi Rob,

You are quite welcome... it's my pleasure to answer these questions and I'm pleased it's helpful.

There is a formal process for internal Cisco groups to request Visio stencil for their products. However, there is no formal process for customers other than this forum. When requests have been posted here, I've been passing them on to the product managers for approval since they must fund the Visio development. Then, we have a prucurement process that kicks in.

Please understand that sometimes this takes a while to get from a forum request to a Visio stencil due to the approvals and the ordering process that we must comply with.

Since this seems to be a good place for this discussion, I will do my best to post an announcement here when a stencil has been added or updated on the Visio stencil library page:

Brett

Hello.

First of all let me thank you for your great work with Cisco products stencils it neat and quite helpful.

Currently I'm in need of AIR-WLC-2125 wireless lightweight access points controller Visio stencil, is there any possability you could provide me one?

Re: How to request missing Visio stencils?

Brett Newman — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 22:09:53 GMT

Hello Andrey,

Glad to help...

A new Wireless products stencil will be posted within the next 24 hours. We just submitted it to the Web team and that is how long it typically takes to appear on the Visio page http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/prod_cat_visios.html

It contains a generic 2100 and also a 2106 which look identical and the 2125 is the same as well. You can edit the Visio Shape Data to show it as 2125 if you need to.

Regards,

Brett
