Hi

I'm looking for the iSeries Visio. I'm unable to access it from the website https://www.f5.com/services/resources/visio-stencils

 

Thanks.

I've updated this article to include the iSeries stencils from F5.com.

@Damion The link is fixed and pending publish by the DC team.  Thanks for the catch!

Dear Team,

The stencils does not include R2000 and R4000 Series platforms.  Please advise on where can I get them.

@Sathya_Kumar Pretty sure v2.2 is the latest (link above) but we'll keep an eye out for anything new coming. Maybe @Chase_Abbott knows more?

Yep.  That was the latest I was given. The items in bold under the v2 are the updates from the prior version. I'll shoot a note out to the people that gave me those and I'll ping this thread back.

These are great, thank you Chase for putting this together. I could certainly use these for Lucid.

For a while I have been trying to get BIG-IP VE visio stencils to draw diagrams of VE (LTM,APM & DNS) instances used in our private cloud environment, Any chance these could be published ?

Example, Like the once used in below article,

@Krishnaanupala I know these have never been made into Visio stencils, but I know they exist all as individual graphic elements (lots of small eps/jpgs) for use on things like powerpoint and for our internal branding teams. The image from that white paper was done in powerpoint and saved out to an image.

I'll find out if those were ever published for people to use even if it's not a Visio stencil.

As stated above. R4xxx series, like R4600 is not available. This is something we as a customer expect to be able to document our installations in a good way.

Would it be possilble to get the rest of the rSeries lineup added to this stencil?

@MR_RJ @aprove 

There's a lot less visibility into Visio these days and I have forwarded these onto anyone that would be able to get this done.

After I kidnapped a designer for questioning, I did get a better reception around Lucid inclusion given a lot of vendors are moving that way for long term diagramming support. I am pushing both stories to see which one gets better traction and will provide an update accordingly.

One thing to note, are we looking for rSeries generic shapes or port level snapping and config management db type of descriptors?

@Chase_Abbott 

Thanks for pushing this forward.

Port-level graphics would be nice, at the same level as the other devices available.

As an expert in consumer behaviour, I understand the significance of effective documentation methods in understanding and analysis of consumer trends. It's impressive to see the compilation of Visio stencils throughout the years, serving as a valuable resource for visualizing complex concepts. However, incorporating online tools like Lucid to complement this repository is worth considering. For students seeking in-depth knowledge and practical assistance, platforms offering "consumer behavior assignment help" can significantly enhance their learning experience and proficiency. Keep up the great work and continuous improvement!
