Visio Shapes

[s4mmy]

Can we please get some update visio shapes?

[Adam Hinchliff]

I wish they could stick with a standard on the stencils, release the stencils Meraki use in design docs.

Hi @Adam Hinchliff -

If you can let me know where you found that particular diagram, I can reach out to the team that made it to see if there are any resources they can share.

Cheers!

Hey Caroline,

It would also be nice if the topology icons were in a Visio format as well. Would that be possible?

[ArshadSafrulla1]

Any update on the Stencils for the above topology icons?

[AndrewBAus]

I would LOVE these in stencil form, any chance of that?

Hi @AndrewBAus!

Which are you referring to? The download at https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/visio-stencil-listing.html does include .vss files.

Cheers!

Hi Caroline,

I'm referring to the Topology items linked in this thread and in this blog post:

https://meraki.cisco.com/blog/2018/12/our-topology-icons-speak-volumes/

Having these with connectors in visio would be a terrific as high level diagrams for customers often don't need the physical views (with all the ports) available in the existing stencil set.

P.S. Yes, this link shows up under the “Security” section of the Cisco Visio Stencil Listing - but it includes our full suite of products.

Is there a rear view stencil for the Cisco Meraki MS350? I can't seem to find one within the zip file.

@CarolineS1 do you have a Z3C back stencil you can share with me?

Thanks

@Mfedele - I've passed this request onto the team! I realize my response on this is pretty delayed and you probably don't need this any more, but I'm sure it will be useful to someone. Cheers!

Back stencils are more vital than front, especially when the ports are on the back. There needs to be a back stencil for the MX67. Where can I find one?

Yes its very frustrating to be in this much love with a product line and company but yet the basic visio shapes we need to promote the product line withing our organization and to other organizations is behind the times.

I have seen pre-sales engineers that have the shapes (front and back) for all the current and past lines. Why cant we have them as customers that love the products?

Please Please Please give this serious attention so we can finally close this post and get the shapes we need for best practice documentation and promoting the Meraki brand 🙂
